One side sought to own the riches of North America and the other struggled to hold on to traditional homelands and ways of life. The book reveals how the ideas of honor, fair dealings, good faith, rule of law, and peaceful relations between nations have been tested and challenged in historical and modern times. The book consistently demonstrates how and why centuries-old treaties remain living, relevant documents for both Natives and non-Natives in the 21st century.Foreword by Kevin Gover\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction by Suzan Shown Harjo\u003cbr\u003e  American Indian Land and American Empire: An Interview with Philip J.

Those who contributed essays include Native and non-Native historians, legal scholars, and tribal activists, their sources culled from Native American material culture, tribal oral traditions, interviews, and historical documents. In assessing “what went wrong” with the 368 treaty relationships of “mutual respect” forged between 1777 and 1868, the authors cite numerous overreaches of power by the U.S. government, including the Doctrine of Discovery of 1823, whereby Indians lost the title to their lands, only retaining the right to occupy them; the “civilization regulations” which, beginning in 1883, criminalized everything traditional in Indian life; and the Plenary Power Doctrine of 1903, which stated that Congress could abrogate treaties without tribal consent. As the twentieth century unfolded, Indian nations “dusted off their treaties” and demanded that their original bilateral intent be fulfilled—leading to the restoration of water rights, fishing rights, and tribal civil jurisdiction. This landmark volume highlights this crucial and evolving process.  \u003ci\u003e— Deborah Donovan\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMUSEUM ANTHROPOLOGY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis impressive volume is lavishly illustrated with rare historical and stunning contemporary images and is about much more than just treaties.
