Economic themes underlie many aspects of Native American history
from the fur trade, the devastating impact of European diseases,
and the taking of Native American land to the current issues of
uranium mining on Navajo land and casino gambling. Yet this is the
first encyclopedia to analyze Native American history against an
economic background. Describing the impact of Euro-American
settlement from a Native American perspective, the book profiles
the economies of roughly forty Native American tribes and nations
from pre-Columbian times to the present. Other entries focus on
demographics, such historical issues as the Allotment Act of 1887,
and modern efforts at economic development. The book provides a
valuable guide to an important area in Native American Studies and
American economic history. Basing entries on Native nations, the
work includes peoples living in present-day Canada, Mexico,
Guatemala, and the United States. Along with nation profiles, the
book includes historical information on demographics, economic
conditions on reservations, and the economic basis for present-day
attempts to increase Native American sovereignty. It is a concise,
readable account of Native American history in a format suitable
for undergraduates.
