Summary
An Indian activist and author, Vine Deloria calls for the federal government to reopen treaty-making procedures. Originally published in 1974, this book analyzes the history of Indian treaty relations with the United States. Deloria presents population and land ownership information to support his argument that many Indian tribes have more impressive landholdings than some small members of the United Nations.
Note
On page vii: Chapters 5 and 20 were written and researched primarily by Kirke Kickingbird and Fred Ragsdale, and were then given critical and incisive review by William Veeder.
