A History of the Indians of the United States

More about the book

Set against the backdrop of the 1906 protests led by Creek Indian Chitto Harjo, the narrative delves into the historical struggles of Native Americans, beginning with the era of Columbus. Harjo emphasizes the importance of understanding the deep-rooted history of indigenous peoples in the context of their ongoing fight against the U.S. government's land policies. The book highlights the persistent gap in knowledge among non-Indian Americans regarding Indian history and the implications of this ignorance on contemporary issues.
