Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex and often tragic relationship between the United States government and Native American tribes during the 19th century. The author, a member of a congressional committee tasked with investigating the treatment of Native Americans, provides a firsthand account of their findings. The book focuses on the devastating decline of Native American populations, exploring the multifaceted factors contributing to their plight. From disease and the encroachment of white settlers on their hunting grounds, to the corrupt practices of government officials and the destructive nature of conflict, the book paints a disturbing picture of the forces working to decimate Native American communities. The book's exploration of the Indian Bureau and the debate over its placement within the War Department or the Interior Department highlights the complex political dynamics at play in shaping the government's approach to Native Americans. The author's call for greater oversight through the creation of boards of inspection illuminates the need for accountability and ethical governance in managing the nation's interactions with Native American tribes. This book's detailed analysis of the situation, coupled with its poignant observations and insightful recommendations, provides a compelling record of the challenges faced by Native Americans in the face of westward expansion and the struggle for their survival.
