Opis

This book's aim is to explain the premises on which this country built its policies toward the first inhabitants and to show how those strategies, built on invalid assumptions, altered forever the lives of millions of people. The book also deals with the complexities that government Indian agents faced in carrying out United States Indian policy in Oregon.
