Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
In this profusely and creatively illustrated book, Hirschfelder, an award-winning author (Happily May I Walk: American Indians and Alaskan Natives Today) who was formerly with the Association for American Indian Affairs, responds to the insatiable demand for depictions of Indians and their ways of life. Text sections, arranged in a loose chronological order, include "A Conflict of Cultures," "Dispossession and Loss," "War Against Native Peoples," and "Resurgence and Renewal." Each section features vignettes from the history of Indian-white relationsDthe massacre at Sand Creek, for exampleDand illustrations and photographs that help tell the story. In "Native Voice" sections, readers are exposed to the thoughts of historical and contemporary Native American leaders as expressed in their speeches or writings. There is a great deal of information packed in these heavily illustrated pages, but not a lot of attention is paid to any single subject. An indifferent index fails to include much of the information found in picture captions. The book is best for browsers of Native American history. Recommended for general collections.DMary B. Davis, Huntington Free Lib., Bronx, NY

A fascinating collection of native american history
8. September 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I originally picked up this book with the intention of buying it for my father, who has an avid interest in Native American history. I was quickly fascinated myself, however, by the striking photographs. I expected to see many of the typical photographs of Native Americans in full ceremonial dress. What I found was a book brimming with real life photos.
This book is an account of the everyday lives of the Native Americans - from the peaceful times through the tragedy brought about by the advance of the white man. In the pages of this book, readers are drawn into the work, play,joy, culture, and suffering of these Native Americans' lives. Interspersed with photographs on every page are brief accounts of Native American history, fact boxes, and photograph captions that are far from what you would find in a dry history text. This pictoral history book of Native American culture and experiences is a must for every person who values the history of this country. I am sure it will be handed down through generations of our family.
Great publication

This is a super volume of facts and figures. It helps to set the records straight as to who real bad guys were in the old West. Buy it, read it, add it to your library.

A must for every child in school
28. Oktober 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I have the soft cover version. This book tells what US History books have never told or taught children in school. Should be a school book. Very entaled with what really happened with the lives of Native Americans, and why the white man put them on reservations and today still takes their land away!!!!!!!!!!!
