About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 9 Up This is a well-balanced, readable presentation of the relationship between Native Americans and European settlers, and, later, with the U.S. government. The history is solidly researched; source documents and maps are frequently included in the nine chapters. Appropriate quotes from the various periods are set in boxes; sources are cited, chapter by chapter, at the end of the book. The frequent illustrations and reproductions, all of good size, have excellent explanatory captions. The bibliography/works consulted is annotated. The writing style is marvelous, and the vocabulary is expressive but not difficult this is anything but a textbook experience. Cris Riedel, Ellis B. Hyde Elementary School, Dansville, NY

Review:

Since the arrival of Europeans in the New World, the American Indian was systematically moved to accommodate white settlement. Eventually, it became the policy of the U. S. government to relocate all Native American tribes to the state of Oklahoma. The unrelenting drive to contain the native population of the United States is marked with the same misunderstandings between Native Americans and whites that exist today. With Native American issues such as casino gambling and spear fishing being very much a part of today's headline news, The Relocation Of The North American Indian will go a long way toward explaining the politics behind these issues.
