This readable yet sophisticated survey of treaty-making between Native and European Americans before 1800, recovers a deeper understanding of how Indians tried to forge a new society with whites on the multicultural frontiers of North America-an understanding that may enlighten our own task of protecting Native American rights and imagining racial justice.

Robert A. Williams, Jr., is Professor of Law and American Indian Studies at the University of Arizona. A member of the Lumbee Indian tribe of North Carolina, he is author of the award-winning The American Indian in Western LegalThought (1990).
