Great Plains Indians is a compelling introduction to Indian life on the Great Plains from thirteen thousand years ago to the present..
Wishart spans the vastness of Indian time on the Great Plains, bringing the reader up to date on reservation conditions and rebounding populations in a sea of rural population decline.
Those forces--the environment, religion, tradition, guns, disease, government policy--have written their way into this history.
Myriad internal and external forces have profoundly shaped Indian lives on the Great Plains.
From a hunting and gathering lifestyle to first contact with Europeans to land dispossession to claims cases, and much more, Wishart takes a wide-angle look at one of the most significant groups of people in the country.
Wishart\'s Great Plains Indians covers thirteen thousand years of fascinating, dynamic, and often tragic history.
