About this product

Product Information

Native Americans make up less than one per cent of the total US population but represent half the nation's languages and cultures. Here, in one grand sweep, is the full story of Native American society, culture and religion. Here is everything from the land-based spirituality of their early creation myths and the late rise of Indian Pride, to the 88 uses to which the Sioux put the flesh and bones of the buffalo and the practice of berdache (men adopted as women). The book offers a chronological history of America's indigenous peoples. It covers their dramatic early entry into North America, out of the now submerged continent of Beringia, then in more recent times the 'forgotten wars' of the 16th and 17th centuries, which wiped many tribes from the face of the East Coast, and finally describes to the last struggles of the Cheyenne and the Comanche. Celebrating these peoples' way of life rather than focusing narrowly on the manner of their genocide, it does not ignore uncomfortable facts of the Amerindian past - including the cannibalism believed to have been practised by some tribes and the Native Americans' part in the decimation of North America's buffalo herds.

  • says what it is.

    This is a horrifying account of a truly shameful period in the history of the americas. The story's told of how the europeans landed on those shores and from the very outset considered the native inhabitants to be an inferior race who therefore could have no rights to the land they lived on. Its a story of the methods then used to aquire that land, by fair means or foul, though mostly the latter. It started out with good old fashioned chicanery and ended up in acts of murder and genocide; acts so terrible and deliberate that had they been committed in the 20th century there would have been a call for the president of that country to be hauled before The International Court of Human Rights. It is not a nice read, but it is a 'must read'.
