“Beginning at the end of the Civil War, government funds from Indigenous land sales or royalties were not distributed to reservation citizens or held by their governments; rather they were held in trust and managed in Washington. The Bureau of Indian Affairs, without Indigenous people’s consent, invested Indigenous funds in railroad companies and various municipal and state bonds.”

“It was crucial to make the reality & significance of Indigenous peoples’ survival clear throughout the book. Indigenous survival as peoples is due to centuries of resistance & storytelling passed through the generations, & I sought to demonstrate that this survival is dynamic, not passive. Surviving genocide, but whatever means, is resistance: non-Indians must know this…to understand the history of the US.”
