About

Overview

European explorers reached North America more than 400 years ago, and since that time Native Americans have had to struggle to survive. Yet, despite injustices both past and present, the Native American community has persevered over the centuries. The new, three-volume ENCYCLOPEDIA OF NATIVE AMERICAN HISTORY offers a comprehensive and authoritative look at the most important individuals, events, and topics in American Indian history.
