This book examines how the United States government, through the
lens of presidential leadership, has tried to come to grips with
the many and complex issues pertaining to relations with Indigenous
peoples, who occupied the land long before the Europeans arrived.
The historical relationship between the US government and Native
American communities reflects many of the core contradictions and
difficulties the new nation faced as it tried to establish itself
as a legitimate government and fend off rival European powers,
including separation of powers, the role of Westward expansion and
Manifest Destiny, and the relationship between diplomacy and war in
the making of the United States. The authors' analysis touches on
all US presidents from George Washington to Donald Trump, with
sections devoted to each president. Ultimately, they consider what
historical and contemporary relations between the government and
native peoples reveal about who we are and how we operate as a
nation.
