In slipcase. “In 1906 when the Creek Indian Chitto Harjo was protesting the United States government’s liquidation of his tribe’s lands, he began his argument with an account of Indian history from the time of Columbus, “for, of course, a thing has to have a root before it can grow.” Yet even today most intelligent non-Indian Americans have little knowledge of Indian history and affairs those lessons have not taken root. // This book is an in-depth historical survey of the Indians of the United States, including the Eskimos and Aleuts of Alaska, which isolates and analyzes the problems which have beset these people since their first contacts with Europeans. Only in the light of this knowledge, the author points out, can an intelligent Indian policy be formulated.”
