This Indian Country
American Indian Activists and the Place They Made
Frederick E. Hoxie
In this bold and sweeping counternarrative to our conventional
understanding of Native American history, celebrated academic
historian Frederick E. Hoxie presents the story of Native American
political activism—a chronicle that spans over two hundred
years. Highlighting the activists—some famous and some
unknown beyond their own communities—who have sought to
bridge the distance between indigenous cultures and the U.S.
republic through legal and political campaigns, Hoxie weaves a
powerful narrative that connects the individual to the tribe, the
tribe to the nation, and the nation to broader historical processes
and progressive movements.
n The latest in the Penguin History of American Life series
n Includes stories and analyses of Native American activists such as
James McDonald (Choctaw), Sarah Winnemucca (Nevada Paiute),
William Potter Ross (Cherokee), Vine Deloria, Jr. (Sioux), Alice
Jemison (Seneca), and D’Arcy McNickle (Salish), among others
