Synopsis

This book examines treaties negotiated by the US government and Native American tribes in Michigan and the subsequent land cessions. It covers land acquisition beginning in 1784 through stipulations of treaties that culminated in the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The author emphasizes that the treaties, though often presented as legal agreements, were instead instruments of domination that led to the displacement of Native Americans from their lands. This insightful study delves into the intricate history of Native American land rights, and the complex and often unjust legal framework surrounding them.
