Clarion Books/Houghton Mifflin Company: NY, 2006. This book includes pivotal moments in the history of the Native Americans from first contact with Europeans to Tecumseh's movement to unite the First Nations. It also includes the resistance of several tribes as well as massacres that influenced thought on both sides. It demonstrates the varied beliefs and practices of the many tribes and explains some of the ideas that made war inevitable. Lastly, it honors the First Nations for who they were and are and for their persistence and rebirth. I do not know enough about the subject to know how well researched the book is, but it seems to be an excellent introduction to the theme.
