Summary:

This book is a study of the role of Native Americans in the physical and political development of the United States during the first few years of its existence. An evaluation of the function and operation of power both within Native American groups and their relation with outsiders, which informed their diverse and complex strategies of resistance to white westward expansion, forms a central component of the study.
