Plains Indians' Views

Our Hearts Fell to the Ground: Plains Indian Views of How the West Was Lost, edited by Colin G. Calloway (TPB, 1996, $2)

Indians' views "were sometimes very different from those held by white Americans at that time and from what white Americans today might expect them to have been. They varied according to their tribe, place, gender, circumstance, and individual experience and character. But taken together, their views give us some idea of what it meant to live on the other side of the frontier and to be subjected to 'civilization'."

Look for this book in the Native American section, avail. 11/29
