Widely used in university courses on Native American history
through five editions, The American Indian: Past and Present has
been thoroughly revised to present an up-to-date view of Indian
heritage. This timely anthology brings together pieces written over
the last thirty years - most published in the past decade - that
represent some of the best scholarship available.The readings offer
a broad overview of indigenous peoples of North America from first
contact to the present, showing how Indians relied on their
cultural strengths and determination to retain their independent
identities. These essays trace the ever changing situations of
Indians as both tribes and individuals. They bring readers through
Native victory and military defeat, relocation, mandatory
acculturation, and militant protests to the present era of
self-determination, when the meaning of Native identity is
sometimes hotly debated. Editor Roger L. Nichols has selected the
new readings and organized the collection to reflect a balance of
time periods, geographic areas, and historical and political topics
for the student's first exposure to American Indian history. He
also includes suggestions for further reading and study questions
as aids to those interested in learning more about the subjects
covered. A fresh update to a valuable classic, The American Indian:
Past and Present remains an accessible resource for undergraduates
and a flexible and authoritative set of readings for the
instructor.
