This revealing book examines how First Nations and Native Peoples
have been displaced in the United States and Canada through
treaties, empty promises, and military force. Through close
examination of primary source images, documents, and first-hand
accounts, readers will gain an understanding of how thousands were
displaced and cultures threatened. Topics covered include
government relations and policies, such as the Potlatch Law and the
Dawes Act, as well as the creation of residential schools and other
acts of forced assimilation. Native and non-Native viewpoints are
addressed to help readers develop critical thinking skills and get
a sense of the attitudes and opinions of the time. A look at
relations today sheds light on the lasting repercussions. Teacher's
guide available.
