Benjamin Reifel and American Indian acculturation
Benjamin "Ben" Reifel (1906-1990) is the first person of Lakota descent to serve in Congress. A member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe of South Dakota, he worked toward American Indian acculturation, while maintaining traditions. In examining Reifel, author Sean J. Flynn highlights a little-known influential figure of the 21st century.
