Aprašymas

Hunt, Helen Jackson's well-known exposé details the exploitation and murder that Native Americans endured in the 18th and 19th centuries. By that time, the idea of allotted reservations as a means of resolving land disputes had been in existence for many years. The European colonial invaders had spent more than a century driving the native North American population back at this point. Jackson examines the previous century as a whole, cataloguing the methodical method by which the Native American population was repressed, murdered, and robbed of their lands and history. Each distinct tribe is considered, including the Cherokees, Sioux, and Delawares. For each, Jackson provides a cultural profile before outlining the contacts, both friendly and hostile, each tribe had with the other.
