Description
For an undergraduate course in Native American History, may be used for courses taught in the History, Native American Studies or American Studies department.
This text is a comprehensive narrative which covers the complexity and diversity of Native American history. Through its chronological organization, the text clearly addresses the theme that Indians themselves have consciously struggled to preserve their cultures and their unique place in America and that they have worked to shape their own future. In developing each chapter the authors address the cultural mechanisms that have allowed Indians to remain true to their own values while adapting to a rapidly and ever-changing world.
