Book Description
"American Indians in the Early West ranges from the development of American Indian communities and the first migrations, to the arrival of the European and Russian settlers, to the appearance of Anglo-American traders in the West around 1800. Readers will see that many of the issues arising during this two-and-a-half century period are ones that remain relevant to Native Americans today - political autonomy, preserving traditions, land and water rights, and resisting the intrusions of non-Indian sovereigns, including the newly independent United States." "There is no way to understand the American West - past, present, and future - without understanding the unique perspectives of the incredible variety of its peoples."--Jacket.

The “fascinating” #1 New York Times bestseller that awakened the world to the destruction of American Indians in the nineteenth-century West (The Wall Street Journal). First published in 1970, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee generated shockwaves with its frank and heartbreaking depiction of the systematic annihilation of American Indian tribes across the western frontier. In this nonfiction account, Dee Brown focuses on the betrayals, battles, and massacres suffered by American Indians between 1860 and 1890. He tells of the many tribes and their renowned chiefs—from Geronimo to Red Cloud, Sitting Bull to Crazy Horse—who struggled to combat the destruction of their people and culture. Forcefully written and meticulously researched, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee inspired a generation to take a second look at how the West was won. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Dee Brown including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.
American Indians and National Forests
Author: Theodore CattonPublisher: University of Arizona Press
ISBN: 0816531994
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
American Indians and National Forests tells the story of how the U.S. Forest Service and tribal nations dealt with sweeping changes in forest use, ownership, and management over the last century and a half. Indians and U.S. foresters came together over a shared conservation ethic on many cooperative endeavors; yet, they often clashed over how the nation’s forests ought to be valued and cared for on matters ranging from huckleberry picking and vision quests to road building and recreation development. Marginalized in American society and long denied a seat at the table of public land stewardship, American Indian tribes have at last taken their rightful place and are making themselves heard. Weighing indigenous perspectives on the environment is an emerging trend in public land management in the United States and around the world. The Forest Service has been a strong partner in that movement over the past quarter century.
