Luther Standing Bear, a Lakota Sioux born in the 1860s, heard these legends in his youth, when his people were being moved to reservations.

An Unspeakable Sadness: The Dispossession of the Nebraska Indians
ISBN: 9780803297951 / Angielski / Miękka / 309 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Historical geographer David J. Wishart tells the story of the dispossession process as it affected the Nebraska Indians-Otoe-Missouria, Ponca, Omaha, and Pawnee-over the course of the nineteenth century. Working from...
