Book Description:
|
The book provides an overview of the relations between the Plains Sioux Indians and the United States from 1804 (the Lewis and Clark expedition) to 1890 (the Wounded Knee massacre). The main purpose of the book is to show how various Sioux communities and leaders responded to the growing power of the United States. The book differs from other books on the Sioux in that it uses the concept of colonialism to shed new light on the history of the Plains Sioux in the 1800s.
