Description

This story of Indian nations offers a broader perspective on American history and the experiences of Native Americans. From the Pleistocene era to the present day, it reveals the true story of North America's oldest inhabitants.

For too long, their origins have been viewed from a 500-year-old European perspective. However, recent archaeological findings, newly discovered written accounts, and never-before-published records have contributed to a new understanding of American Indian history. In this book, acclaimed author Jake Page draws upon the latest research and his own personal experience living among the Hopi tribes to cover all aspects of Indian life throughout the ages.

From Custer's Last Stand to the Indian Civil Rights Act, the establishment of reservations to the negotiation of casino property, In the Hands of the Great Spirit reveals the astonishing endurance of a group of people whose experience is as varied as the world is old. Their history spans over 20,000 years.
