Book Synopsis

Despite the federal government's multiple attempts to redress indigenous claims, a close examination reveals that even when compensatory programmes were instituted, native peoples never attained a genuine sense of justice. This book explores Native American claims against the United States government over the past two centuries.

Trade Review

“There are a good number of books on the subject, but none provide the scope that this one does. . . . I can surely see this becoming the standard book to which people turn when wanting to know the story of Indian claims.”—Christian McMillen, author of Making Indian Law: The Hualapai Land Case and the Birth of Ethnohistory -- Christian McMillen
“A highly readable and important study on the history of Native claims against the United States. . . . To my knowledge, this is the first sustained scholarly effort to link the acts of promise making and the consequences of promise-breaking between the US and the tribal nations with a close examination of the various institutional mechanisms developed over time to resolve those claims.“—N. Bruce Duthu, author of American Indians and the Law -- N. Bruce Duthu
