Using government council records, autobiographies, and firsthand descriptions, Dee Brown has allowed The Great Tribes of North America to tell us in their own words of the battles, massacres, and broken treaties that finally left them demoralized and defeated. This book is VERY informative and to any feeling heart VERY disturbing. This book contains the true story on how the West was won. In the time between 1492 and the end of the Indian wars of the late 1800's our ancestors had decimated the American Indian Peoples by well over 90%, in this book you will hear many accounts that contributed to this well hidden American Holocaust.
