| Abstract: |
American history is looked at through the eyes of Native Americans. Chapter 1 covers legends and theories concerning the origins of the American Indians, the arrival of Columbus and the European stereotype of the American Indian, the early relationships between the Indians and Europeans, and the disputes over land. Chapter 2 discusses the United States government's policy to remove Indians from the lands east of the Mississippi, the ensuing court battles, and the Indian resistance to the westward expansion of the white population. Chapter 3 includes the Trail of Broken Treaties and the near destruction of the Indian culture, the modern Indian revival, and the contribution of the Indian people to the overall American culture. Each chapter has study questions. A map of the various regional groups and a 7-item bibliography are included. (JMM) |
