Among the American History donations are ones about Native Americans.
The best, in my opinion:
The World Turned Upside Down: Indian Voices from Early America, Colin Calloway (TPB, 1994, $1.75) **SOLD**
This book "offers a broad range of Indian voices from various historical situations, points of view, and sources. It will do more than almost any scholarly study to help students unlearn the stereotypes, both old fashioned and currently fashionable, that prevent them from seeing Native Americans as people who lived in and made history just as Europeans did." Native Americans voices are seldom heard in history books. Their records were oral. Their women ignored because they were women. This book has been a long time coming.
Changes in the Land: Indians, Colonists, and the Ecology of New England, by William Cronon (TPB, 1983, $2)
Changes, which won the Parkman Prize, "offers an original and persuasive interpretation of the changing circumstances in New England's plant and animal communities that occurred with the shift from Indian to European dominance."
What Caused the Pueblo Revolt of 1680?, by David J. Weber (TPB, 1999, $1.50)
Weber's colleague suggested that he "bring together several essays that examine the causes of the Pueblo revolt of 1680, a dramatic event in the history of early America. In 1598, Spaniards came north from Mexico to plant a permanent colony in what is today New Mexico in the heart of the American Southwest. Eight decades later, Pueblo Indians destroyed the colony and drove Spaniards out of their lands. The conquered became the conquerors. That turn of events was so unusual that it continues not only to intrigue us but to demand explanation."
I have a question. Are any of these scholars Native? If not, and they appear not to be, then what do Native scholars think of the Revolt? If the Native perspective is left out, can the picture be complete?
Look for these books in the Native American section.
