Description
Contrary to the white man's early expectations, the Indian tribes of North American have neither vanished nor become assimilated; rather they have maintained their cultural identity, and the size, social organization, and frequently the location of their population. McNickle, a member of the Flathead Tribe of Montana, here explains how Indian tribes have managed to remain an ethnic and cultural enclave within the dominant -- and often domineering -- societies of the U.S. and Canada, from colonial times to the present. This is a greatly expanded, thoroughly revised and updated version of McNickle's earlier work, Indian Tribes of the United States.
