Their bond began there as they witnessed the horror. It carried them across the U.S. advocating for Native Americans and whistleblowing the corruption and racism of the nation's Indian policy. They wrote 22 books while organizing a national organization of and for Indians that paralleled the NAACP. They lobbied Congress, made speeches, wrote articles and protested the steady erosion of Native rights and resources. Their books, excerpted here, make the history of this very bleak time for Americans of color come alive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book connects the experiences and responses of Indigenous Americans with those of African Americans and white progressives during the period from the Civil War to World War II. Social and political history combine here to paint vivid pictures of this time. Tensions between the Eastmans mirror the dilemmas of gender, cultural pluralism and ethnic differences that Charles and Elaine faced as they worked to make their homeland care about Indian impoverishment. Their story is a national story. It is also intensely personal. It reveals the price American reformers paid for their activism and the cost exacted for American citizenship. Effectively written, this book will keep you reading and thinking about the connections between their time and ours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreface\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePART 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Beginnings 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Retribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 Lincoln's \"\"War of Races\"\" and Dakota Conscientious Objectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Mis-Trials, Death Camps, Flight, Mass Execution, and Removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Refugees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePART 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Sky Farm, Western Massachusetts, and Homesteading in South Dakota\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Military Pacification, the Churches and Dakota Resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 Reunion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 The Black Hills and Little Big Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 Parallel Policies: The South and The West\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11 Nonviolent Forms of Resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 The Politics of Indian Policy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e13 Ghost Dance and Wounded Knee: 1890\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePART 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14 The Consequences of Whistleblowing, a Pan-Indian Identity, and Lobbying Congress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15 \"\"Scholarship\"\" and the New Racism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 Working for Pratt, at Crow Creek, and Writing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEndnotes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"University of Nevada Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043343466839,"sku":"9781948908726","price":44.06,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781948908726.jpg?v=1750957917","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/they-met-at-wounded-knee-the-eastmans-story-9781948908726","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
