    Emma I. Hansen ; with contributions by Beatrice Medicine … [et al.]
  • Publication Details

    Book, Buffalo Bill Historical Center, 2007
  • Description

    The story of the Native peoples of the Great Plains is a cornerstone in the history and heritage of the American West. Hansen and distinguished members of the Plains Indian community weave the history of Native peoples together with an insightful view of contemporary Native life, presenting the glory, endurance, and renewal of the life ways of Plains peoples. The contributors trace the story of the Plains peoples through adversity — European settlement, disease, warfare, loss of homelands, the decimation of the buffalo, the powerful influence of missionaries and government agents, and, finally, settlement on reservations — to the renewal of their cultures in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

  • Attribution

    Clyde Ellis
  • Publication Details

    Book, University Press of Kansas, 2003
