"One of the first systematic condemnations of American federal policy vis-a-vis Natives. It's kind of funny to read now, especially as Jackson reveals many of her own inherent prejudices. And yet she was well more progressive than the majority of today's scholars and politicians are right now."
"I read this about 10 years ago and it has stayed with me ever since. It's incredibly dense and detailed (some times ad nauseam) but an excellent work portraying early US-Native American relations. It will open your eyes to the power struggle and greed between "civilized" and indigenous peoples around the world."
