      Focusing on the historical injustices faced by Native Americans, the book highlights the genocide and displacement resulting from U.S. policies, particularly the Indian Appropriations Act of 1871. Helen Hunt Jackson meticulously documents the broken treaties and violence inflicted upon seven tribes, including the Delaware and Sioux, using government reports and personal testimonies. Her activism aimed to spur legislative change, yet her efforts were largely dismissed. The work serves as a powerful indictment of the government's actions and calls for accountability and reform.
