A wonderful book but a heartbreaking read. It's a bit of a pity to me that it focuses mostly on the militar conflicts and treaties with whites rather than on Native American culture, mentality, spirituality...

Um livro que combina imagens impressionantes com detalhes históricos que nos conduzem pela sangrenta e triste história do fim de um modo de vida. Para quem se interessa pela história dos nativos norte-americanos este livro traça de um modo bastante didático a colonização do Norte da América e a resistência do Homem perante o Homem.

Dieses Buch bildet einen guten Anfang für alle, die sich für die Ureinwohner Nordamerikas interessieren. Es erwähnt wichtige Stationen in der Geschichte und trägt viel Bildmaterial zusammen. An manchen Stellen wiederholt es sich etwas, was schade ist, aber nicht großartig störend.

DNF halfway through. Found the layout of the book with the photos too hard to read. Was a bit all over the place like a child’s school project.
Content was confronting to read but perhaps a better layout of the book, with less messy placement of words and pictures would make it easier to read

A nice overview of a long, tragic history for those of us who are uninformed.

A good book to understand Native American history and pictures speak a lot. The speeches by Native American chiefs are thought provoking and take you to the times these natives lived.

This is a beautiful book, ideal for dipping in and out of. It contains some wonderful pictures and accompanying history and would make an ideal starting point for anyone considering making a study of these interesting people.

Loved the pictures, boring read

[Nagisa · Rating 3 out of 5]

Illustrated with many photos, but sad to read. Native American history is a repetition of wars, accumulation of mistreatment and poverty.

Good interesting book. Some of the photos in here are very haunting.
