Native Anthologies II

This book is a dramatic reconstruction of the life stories of 3 Native Americans chiefs who lived on the American frontier in the 19 th century. It gives a view of history that comes from the perspective of the Native American peoples. The narratives revolve around 3 giants of history, Sitting Bul, Chief Joseph and Geronimo who belonged to the Indian tribes of the American West that roamed on the Plains since their origins. They had signed treaties with the US Government/ the Great Father in Washington but which had been infringed by the settlers driven by the greed of appropriating the land that belonged collectively to the Indigenous peoples. The journey on the frontier to escape the Cavalry which was trying to subdue the Native Americans was arduous, prolonged and dramatic.
