Sommario/riassunto

"This study examines Native American protests in the Pacific Northwest during the 1960s and 1970s. It focuses on the successful occupation of Fort Lawton in 1970 and the creation of the Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center in 1975, both of which the author frames within the larger history of Native American activism."--Provided by publisher.
