Native America: A History

Synopsis

I Hope To Provide Students Interested In The Native American Past With An Understanding Of How The Varied Parts Of The Story Fit Into A Larger Whole. My Goal Is To Tell A Story Of Native Peoples, To Advance An Argument. To That End, I Focus Upon Twelve Native Communities Whose Histories Encapsulate What I See As The Principal Themes And Developments In Native American History-- Myths And Legends -- Worlds New And Worlds Old -- Living In The New World -- Native Peoples And The Fall Of European Empires -- Native Peoples And The Rise Of A New American Empire -- Relocations And Removes -- The Invasion Of The Great West -- The Age Of Dispossession -- New Deals And Old Deals -- Sovereign Nations And Colonized Nations.
