"The volume follows both a chronological and thematic arrangement with each chapter prefaced by a clear, edifying introduction to the topic. The documents themselves are drawn from a variety of sources on Native and non-Native sides of the issue and are comprised of legends, reports, treaties, court cases, letters, and memoirs and prefaced by brief introductions. Examples include documents by Christopher Columbus, Thomas Jefferson, Tecumseh, and Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell. The work concludes with a time line, extensive source notes, and a comprehensive bibliography for each chapter, providing opportunities for further research. Whether discussing Pontiac's Rebellion or the 1977 trial of Leonard Peltier, these documents are sure to inspire debate among advanced students."
