Description:

A descendant of The American Indian Experience, this compelling new anthology highlights the expertise of sixteen specialists. Those chapters retained from the original volume have been carefully reviewed and reworked to make them more accesible to the average undergraduate, while six wholly new and original works consider important topics:, American Indian women, Indian-Spanish relations in the Greater Southwest in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Indian affairs during the Civil War, the ongoing issue of Native Sovereignty, U.S. Indian policy since the Nixon Administration, and the emotional fight over Repatriation. As before, each chapter concludes with a short bibliographical essay that lists the best as well as the most recent sources for follow-up research. Designed for use as a core text in one- or two-semester courses in American Indian history or as a supplement to any standard U.S. History survey, "They Made Us Many Promises" is certain to challenge readers' assumptions about the past and current roles of Indians in American society.
