    An important book (4.5 stars)
  

*by A***1 on Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2024*

This is an important book for any US citizen.  At the same time, it may be too long for the general reader who is not a history lover.  I skipped the section on the subjection of native Americans west of the Mississippi, and I might have been happier with less detail about Mohawk history. Native nations in what is now the United States were overwhelmed not by a more sophisticated culture, but by its larger population.  The indigenous people suffered greatly from alien diseases, but the author believes this scourge is overstated.  Even in the Northeast, native people feared the Mohawks more than the Europeans during the 16th century.  In the 1850’s, native Americans still controlled more than half of US  territory.  Due to mistreatment, the nadir of their population was in the early 1900’s, possibly about 300,000.  It was sometime in the 18th century that the view of natives as inherently inferior took hold, as a way of justifying their displacement.  A major cause of the American revolution was that the British tried to control white expansionism (a book TV lecture by a historian who had written about the burning of New York city in 1776, in answer to a question, noted that this was an accepted fact, not the author’s opinion).  Both Washington and Jefferson, as proven by documents, were comfortable with massacring natives, if they did not voluntarily move West, or North to Canada. During the Medieval warm period there were major native town centers comparable to those in Europe.  “The sprawling civilization of the Huhugam by the twelfth century had several cities of more than ten thousand people”.  The cities relied on agriculture and trade.  With the Little Ice Age and its effect on agriculture, the elites tended to lose their power and the towns to lose population.Native nations were often democratic, although leaders might always come from certain clans.  There might be a war council and a peace council.  Women had important roles, sometimes running the peace council.  Many eastern nations were matrilineal, and women were in charge of agriculture and home building. There was a general readiness to borrow from other cultures, including spiritually; this later applied to Christianity.  Reciprocity was a fundamental belief.  Natives who travelled to Europe were shocked by the inequality, lack of freedom, and the filth; at the time of the first European small settlement in Virginia, pre- Jamestown, two Natives made the Atlantic crossing and back.  These were politically astute people who for a long time exploited the Europeans in the terms of trade.In 1879 the first off reservation boarding school for Indian children was established and the emphasis became assimilation and the elimination of native culture.  Graduates of these school sometimes became teachers there and weakened this approach;  also, children might sometimes spend summers at home, and learn about their cultures.  The US policy changed in the Franklin Roosevelt administration.  “Native America is experiencing a renaissance today as more young people are learning the languages, arts and crafts, and ceremonies of their ancestors.“  The 2020 census reported “an astounding 9.7 million Native Americans. Not all of them are actual citizens of Native nations, but the vast majority do report a specific tribal affiliation.”

    Good information
  

*by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2024*

Very detailed account of native tribes.  I especially appreciated the accounts of their interactions with settlers.  I did find annoying the author's over stating the virtues of native Americans often putting their achievements on a par with European and Asian cultures.  The native Americans are amazing people but their tangible achievements were very modest by comparison.
