5.0 out of 5 stars
a great look into US-Indian policy and relations,
By Timothy Werwath (Columbia, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Indians: Answers to Today's Questions (Civilization of the American Indian) (Paperback)
i first came upon this book through my brother who studies archaeology at university of arizona. his american indian studies professor used this book as the textbook for the class. i read it cover to cover and found it very intruiging and fascinating (as well as horrifying). a great start for anyone whos interested in how the land your living on went from belonging to an indian tribe to becoming yours, and what happened to the people who owned it.

This review is from: American Indians: Answers to Today's Questions (Civilization of the American Indian) (Paperback)
It seems like most, if not all, the information in this book is self-explanatory, but the author does a thorough job explaining and elaborating on lesser known topics.
