Summary:

"In "Indigenous Missourians: Ancient Societies to the Present," historian Greg Olson argues that the history of Indigenous people in present-day Missouri is far more nuanced, complex, and vibrant than the often-told tragic stories of conflict with white settlers and forced Indian removal would lead us to believe. In this path-breaking narrative, Olson presents the Show Me State's Indigenous past as one spanning twelve millennia of Native presence, resilience, and evolution"-- Provided by publisher.
