Description

This book traces the demographic growth in the American Indian population during the past forty years, as well as the rise in native American activities during this century. It focuses special attention on the Red Power movement, which reached its climax during the Battle at Wounded Knee in 1973, and which marked a shift in native American identification, from tribal association to a pan-Indian consciousness.
