Book excerpt: "In the mid-1960s, Native Americans began organizing to demand civil rights from the U.S. government. This movement, which was initially called the American Indian Movement, scheduled sit-ins, marches, and other forms of protest to get the attention of lawmakers. Although the movement achieved several important aims, Native Americans continue to fight to this day for equal treatment and basic rights. Vibrant, full-color photographs and engaging fact boxes bring this historic struggle to life for young readers, helping them connect and empathize with a civil rights movement that is often swept under the rug"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While tribal-state relationships have historically been characterized as tense, most southern tribesparticularly non-federally recognized onesfound that Indian affairs commissions offered them a unique position in which to negotiate power. Although individual tribal leaders experienced isolated victories and generated some support through the 1950s and 1960s, the creation of the intertribal state commissions in the 1970s and 1980s elevated the movement to a more prominent political level. Through the formalization of tribal-state relationships, Indian communities forged strong networks with local, state, and national agencies while advocating for cultural preservation and revitalization, economic development, and the implementation of community services.

Book excerpt: Historian Frederick E. Hoxie presents the story of two hundred years of Native American political activism. Highlighting the activists -- some famous and some unknown beyond their own communities -- who have sought to bridge the distance between indigenous cultures and the U.S. republic through legal and political campaigns, Hoxie weaves a narrative connecting the individual to the tribe, the tribe to the nation, and the nation to broader historical processes and progressive movements.

Book excerpt: The history of Native Americans within the United States is a turbulent one, marked by broken promises, confiscated lands, forced acculturation, and the shadowy line between tribal sovereignty and American citizenship. Native Americans and their allies have had to fight for their rights, rights that other Americans were guaranteed under the Constitution.

This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A resource for all who teach and study history, this book illuminates the unmistakable centrality of American Indian history to the full sweep of American history. The nineteen essays gathered in this collaboratively produced volume, written by leading scholars in the field of Native American history, reflect the newest directions of the field and are organized to follow the chronological arc of the standard American history survey. Contributors reassess major events, themes, groups of historical actors, and approaches--social, cultural, military, and political--consistently demonstrating how Native American people, and questions of Native American sovereignty, have animated all the ways we consider the nation's past. The uniqueness of Indigenous history, as interwoven more fully in the American story, will challenge students to think in new ways about larger themes in U.S. history, such as settlement and colonization, economic and political power, citizenship and movements for equality, and the fundamental question of what it means to be an American.
