- Summary:
- "Native Americans in the United States created political, economic, and social movements to adjust to major changes that affected their cultures. For centuries, Native Americans have dealt with an onslaught of non-Indian land claims, the appropriation of their homelands, and the destruction of their ways of life. Through various movements, Native Americans accepted, rejected, or accommodated themselves to the nontraditional worldviews of the colonizers and their policies." "This Historical Dictionary of Native American Movements, through a list of acronyms and abbreviations; a chronology; an introductory essay; appendixes; a bibliography; and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on important people, places, events, and institutions; as well as significant political, economic, social, and cultural aspects; provides a useful reference for students and scholars on the topic of Native Americans and the major issues that confronted them."--Jacket.
