This readable yet sophisticated survey of treaty-making between Native and European Americans before 1800, recovers a deeper understanding of how Indians tried to forge a new society with whites on the multicultural frontiers of North America-an understanding that may enlighten our own task of protecting Native American rights and imagining racial justice.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Linking Arms Together is a small book with a large message. Investigating Native American treaty negotiations with European colonists, Robert Williams, Jr., has found in that diplomatic culture certain habits of thought that helped natives and newcomers, in their better moments, find common ground, and a common humanity. His exploration of that long-ago world when diverse peoples struggled to get along offers important lessons for our own multicultural age.
