Editorial Reviews
Book Description
An updated edition of this classic collection of more than 500 years of Native American history
Revised to bring this important chronicle to the end of the millennium, anthropologist Peter Nabokov presents a history of Native American and white relations as seen though Indian eyes and told through Indian voices. Beginning with the Indians' first encounters with European explorers, traders, missionaries, settlers, and soldiers to the challenges confronting Native American culture today, Native American Testimony is a series of powerful and moving documents spanning five hundred years of interchange between the two peoples. Drawing from a wide range of sources--traditional narratives, Indian autobiographies, government transcripts, firsthand interviews, and more--Nabokov has assembled a remarkably rich and vivid collection, representing nothing less than an alternate history of North America.
* Updated with new material on Native Americans facing the twenty-first century
"A strong and moving reminder of a lost dimension in American history." --Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.
About the Author
Peter Nabokov teaches in the department of World Arts and Cultures at UCLA. His books include Native American Architecture (with Robert Easton), The Architecture of Acoma Pueblo, Indian Running, and Two Leggings: The Makings of a Crow Warrior.
