Excellent Native American History Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This is one of the best, if not THE best, book about what led to the Great Sioux uprising that ultimately caused the destruction of the Great Sioux Nation, the U.S. government banishment to current abysmal reservations and their descent into depression and humiliation, widespread alcoholism and drug addiction and ultimately near genocide. Well documented, well written and comprehensive details of Wavoka's vision and subsequent dissemination of the Ghost Dance, adopted by many Native American tribes, which caused great fear in official Washington as well as the general western white population.
