With coverage divided into periods and regions, American Indians in the Early West looks at how Indian communities evolved from hunter-gatherers to culturally recognized tribes, and examines the critical encounters of those tribes with non-Natives over the next two-and-a-half centuries. Readers will see that the issues at stake in those encounters--political control, preserving traditions, land and water rights, resistance to economic and military pressures--are very relevant to the Native American experience today. 410 0$aCultures in the American West series. 606 $aIndians of North America$zWest (U.S.)$xHistory 615 0$aIndians of North America$xHistory. 676 $a978.004/97 700 $aMathews$b Sandra K.$f1963-$01689805 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813978903321 996 $aAmerican Indians in the early West$94065129 997 $aUNINA
