An excellent detailed history of Native Americans, derived from diaries and historical records, told in an engaging manner. Completely heart wrenching. I almost cried a few times. Very informative.

Reading this floored me. Absolutely made me so disappointed in my cultures history and current teachings. We are taught absolutely nothing in school about how we treat the Native Americans. Seriously all High School's in the United States should be required to read this. We deserve to know the past so we can change the future.

I always knew the US Government had broken many of the treaties they made with the Native Americans. I also have always known that many of the Native Americans were murdered out of convenience and greed. But I had NO idea just how common all of those things really were. This is the Native Americans history told in their own words and in transcripts of meetings they had with officials, and it will break your heart.

"They made us promises, more than I remember, but they never kept but one; they promised to take our land, and they took it."
A very demanding reading that bleeds history from every page, and tells the history of one of the darkest foundation stones of the modern world. This book simply has to be read by everyone wanting to have a clear view of the highly romanticised American history; and learn a larger lesson on the privilege and the entitled position of the white settlers.
No one remembers the Chilulas, Chimarikos, Urebures, Nipewais, Alonas, or a hundred other bands whose bones have been sealed under a million miles of freeways, parking lots and slabs of tract housing."
