Booklist Review
Johansen's two extensively documented volumes brilliantly succeed in portraying cultures indigenous to North America from their earliest origins to the present. Volume 1 tackles the various theories that date their first probable appearance, now agreed to be 30,000 years before Columbus' arrival. Johansen proceeds to early instances of Native confrontations with Europeans, including the Iroquois Confederacy, whose governing was admired by Jefferson. This volume concludes with the explosion of westward expansion and includes personal sketches of some of those famous for Native resistance, notably Tecumseh's famous six-tribe alliance. In volume 2, Johansen moves on to the twentieth century to tell what he calls a story of recovery. He documents a new wave of Native American activism beginning in the 1960s, evidenced by the renewal of Native fishing rights and the occupation of Wounded Knee by the American Indian Movement. He explores reservation life today, the repatriation of artifacts, and the current and widespread revival of Native language studies. Encompassing not only traditional historical records but also oral histories and biographical sketches, these two volumes will undoubtedly become an integral part of Native American history, an increasingly popular field. --Deborah Donovan Copyright 2005 Booklist
