Indians in the United States and Canada
University of Nebraska Press (Verlag)
978-1-4962-0483-7 (ISBN)
Drawing on a vast array of primary and secondary sources, Roger L. Nichols traces the changing relationships between Native peoples and whites in the United States and Canada from colonial times to the present. Dividing this history into five stages, beginning with Native supremacy over European settlers and concluding with Native peoples’ political, economic, and cultural resurgence, Nichols carefully compares and contrasts the effects of each stage on Native populations in the United States and Canada.
This second edition includes new chapters on major transformations from 1945 to the present, focusing on social issues such as transracial adoption of Native children, the uses of national and international media to gain public awareness, and demands for increasing respect for tribal religious practices, burial sites, and historic and funerary remains.
Roger L. Nichols is emeritus professor of history and affiliate faculty of American Indian studies at the University of Arizona. He is the author of numerous books, including Warrior Nations: The United States and Indian Peoples, and the coeditor of Natives and Strangers: A History of Ethnic Americans.
