Description
One of the most lamentable casualties in the development of the American nation is the destruction of Native American culture during the 19th century. Although the Native Americans' claim to North America can be traced back tens of thousands of years, as Europeans settled in the land they pushed the people they called Indians out of their homes. Eventually, the Native Americans were forced onto small areas of land called reservations.
It was hard for the natives to leave their lands and make new homes in unwelcoming western regions. This book looks not only at the events that ultimately forced the Native Americans onto the reservations, but also what life was like there both in the 19th century and today.
