This Indian Country

<b>A comprehensive history of the heroic men and women who led the struggle for Indian rights</b> <p/>In this bold and sweeping counternarrative to our conventional understanding of Native American history celebrated academic historian Frederick E. Hoxie presents the story of Native American political activism--a chronicle that spans more than two hundred years. Highlighting the activists--some famous and some unknown beyond their own communities--who have sought to bridge the distance between indigenous cultures and the U.S. republic through legal and political campaigns Hoxie weaves a powerful narrative that connects the individual to the tribe the tribe to the nation and the nation to broader historical processes and progressive movements.
