After almost two centuries of on-and-off resistance to white
encroachment on Indian lands, a band of Ohio Indians attacked and
almost destroyed the army of the infant U.S.A. The battle for the
Indian village of Kekionga, unmentioned in any history textbook,
stunned President Washington and Congress and provoked both a
change in military policy and the first legislative investigation
of an executive department under the Constitution. This history of
the relations between Native Americans and European settlers,
principally during the colonial and revolutionary periods, focuses
on the clash of two very different civilizations in the struggle
for control of the land. It also sets in world perspective the
savagery of the French and Indian Wars, disposing of the myth that
brutally inhumane treatment of the enemy was characteristic only of
Indian fighting methods. Subsequent to the Indians' supression
after Kekionga, government and private indifference to Indian
rights and gross mistreatment persisted until the last quarter of
the 20th century.
