From the back cover:
"This volume is superb. It offers a broad range of Indian voices from various historical situations, points of view, and sources. It will do more than almost any scholarly study to help students unlearn the stereotypes, both old-fashioned and currently fashionable, that prevent them from seeing Native Americans as people who lived in and made history just as Europeans did." â Neal Salisbury, Smith College
"This is a splendid addition to the literature of the Indian experience in early America. it is impressive in its chronological, geographic, and topical scope. Impressive, too, is the editor's careful treatment of the problems, and the promise, of documents offering natives' perspectives on the invasion of America. This volume is an essential starting point for those people â students, teachers, and scholars â who wish to gain a richer, more nuanced view of early American life." â James H. Merrell, Vassar College
