His scholarly work offers profound insights into the history and culture of Native American peoples. One of his seminal works was recognized with the Book of the Decade Award, highlighting its enduring influence and critical importance in Native American and Indigenous Studies.
In this ambitious book that ranges across the Great Basin, Blackhawk places Native peoples at the center of a dynamic story as he chronicles two centuries of Indian and imperial history that shaped the American West. This book is a passionate reminder of the high costs that the making of American history occasioned for many indigenous peoples.
