The Native American Experience

Based in part on interviews with notable Native Americans-including Adam Fortunate Eagle, Johnny Bear Contreas, and Waneek Horn-Miller-and featuring removable facsimiles of rare documents from U.S. archives and private collections, this is a powerful you-are-there account of American history as seen through the eyes of the people who were here first. Readers will gain a whole new perspective on the past as they share the outlook of those who view the “discovery” of America as one of history's great tragedies. Facsimile documents include:
An issue of The Cherokee Phoenix newspaper from 1828
A seventeenth century map of the New World
President Lincoln's hand-written pardon of 38 Dakota warriors
Top-secret Navajo Code Talker documents from the Second World War
And much more!
