One part sought to possess the riches of North the United States and the opposite struggled to carry directly to conventional homelands and methods of existence. The e-book finds how the guidelines of honor, reasonable dealings, reliable religion, rule of legislations, and peaceable kinfolk among countries were confirmed and challenged in old and glossy occasions. The ebook continually demonstrates how and why centuries-old treaties stay dwelling, proper records for either Natives and non-Natives within the twenty first century.

You can move five thousand people out there into a space that is still very, very Indian. If you want to cease being a territory and become a state, you have to have sixty thousand free, white, male voters; sixty thousand is a lot of people. To do it when you’ve got the confined boundaries of a territory, you have to take the Indian people who are disbursed within that territory and … shrink them down, compress them, and put them into a single space. That space is called a reservation. So once you do that, and then you open up all their other land—as happens in this Yankton Treaty in 1858—to white settlement, you can get sixty thousand people in there, because you have opened up that land for settlement.
In an 1890 commissioner’s report, he recounted seeing Thunderbird after a Cheyenne “Scalp Dance” at the headwaters of the Washita River, during the Red River campaign: Among these dancers was a lad about ten or eleven [who] was induced to attend the agency school. On the opening of [Carlisle Indian Industrial School, three years later] he was one of the first pupils. He was bright and capable, advanced rapidly … and in time became sergeant-major of the cadet organization. … During these three years neither he nor his family has cost the [United States] one cent.
THE STORY OF AMERICAN INDIAN TREATIES RESEMBLES a parabola, consisting of two peaks and a deep valley. The first peak represents the early years of treaty making, when powerful Indian Nations and the new United States engaged in serious diplomacy. The descent was evident in the nineteenth century, when a growing imbalance of power between Indian Nations and the United States eroded the principles of peace, friendship, good-faith bargaining, and sovereign equality that had underpinned early treaty making.
