Minsik users reviews

First Sentence

"THE present number of Indians in the United States does not exceed three hundred thousand, but is possibly as large now as when the Europeans began the settlement of the North American continent."

Description

Originally published over 100 years ago, A Century of Dishonor is Helen Jackson’s eye- opening sketch of the U.S. government’s often shameful mishandling of what was called the “Indian problem”. Using official documents as authentic research materials, Jackson asserts that the government and citizens of the United States were the cause of the “problems”, and not the Native peoples.
