Excerpt
Encyclopedia of the American Indian in the Twentieth Century
The story of American Indians in the 20th century is an inspiring tale of survival and rebirth from the depths of defeat. At the dawn of the 20th century, the Indian was seen by non-Indians as the "Vanishing Red Man," a symbol of nostalgia, a figure of the past with no future. Yet not only have American Indians adapted and survived, but they have maintained a strong spiritual core to this day.In an easily accessible A-to-Z format, Encyclopedia of the American Indian in the Twentieth Centurycontains a comprehensive range of entries--from biographies to concise analyses of major events, organizations, and important topics--that provide an overview of the history of American Indians in the 20th century, a story less known but no less dramatic than that of the period of first contacts and wars. Profiles are included of key individuals, events, ideas, organizations, and locations that have defined American Indian history since 1900. An important addition to the study of multicultural history, this authoritative encyclopedia provides one-stop access to insightful information not readily available in other sources. Entries include: Sherman Alexie, American Indian Federation, Louis Wayne Ballard, John Big Tree, Box Canyon Murders, Ben Nighthorse Campbell, Committee of One Hundred, Council of Energy Resource Tribes, Frank Fools Crow, Henry Chee Dodge, Louise Erdrich, Graham Greene, Frank L. Halfmoon, Health, Hunting and fishing rights, Indian Reorganization Act, Kinzua Dam, Charles and Otellie Loloma, John Tortes Meyers, Carlos Montezuma, National Congress of American Indians, Native American Rights Fund, Oorang Indians, Alex Posey, Red Thunder Cloud, Religious freedom, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Siege of Akwesasne, Redbird Smith, Sports, Sun Bear,Trail of Broken Treaties, Ingrid Washinawatok, Wounded Knee Occupation, Robert Summers Yellowtail, and many more.
