| Summary |
"Although Indian peoples were the first to inhabit North America and are still here, their presence in American history is often fleeting... This book provides an overview of Native American history and offers students access to a more complete and more richly textured narrative of Indian peoples and their place in the history of the United States by also providing an opportunity to tackle historical evidence firsthand."--Page v. |
