The American IndianRaymond Friday Locke From dust jacket: "Only within the last few years have white historians begun to look at the history of the American Indian objectively, and this unique collection hits the highlights of Indian history - primarily from the Indian point of view. Included are a history of the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico, the tragic story of the removal of the Cherokees from their ancient homeland to Oklahoma, the story of the man who attempted to organize the Indians into a unified fighting force - and almost succeeded - and the tragic tale of a Nevada Paiute who came to be known as the peace messiah. Among other articles in this rich collection are a study of American Indian humor and an essay on Red Power." Contents: "History, Red Power and the New Indian. The Legend of the White God and the Conquest of Mexico. The End of the Anasazi. The Pueblos of New Mexico. The Trail of Tears. The Epic Flight of the Cheyennes. The Peace Messiah. Humor of the American Indian. Tecumseh. Is Geronimo Alive and Well in the South Vietnamese Central Highlands?" |
