Native American History and Culture: An Anthology contains diverse perspectives and illuminates the sociocultural and political complexity of American Indian history. The selected readings in this anthology explore the full context of Indian life and present readers with leading scholarship that rejects ethnocentrism and respects Native American heritage. The text is organized into five chapters. Chapter 1 features three readings that explore the history of Native Americans before and after European contact. In Chapter 2, students read about disparities in health status and care between American Indians and other groups over time. The readings help students better understand how economic and political forces can explain both the persistence of health disparities and the controversies that surround them. Chapter 3 examines Native nations and western expansion, including treaties, settler colonialism, and more, and Chapter 4 explores American Indian activism. The final chapter illuminates the legacies of settler colonialism through discussion of white supremacy, the Indian male body and the heroic ideal, and American Indian identity and blood quantum.
