'A People's Dream Died There'

Description

This is a book review of Dee Brown's "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West." It describes how white government officials abused Native Americans' rights, in large part because the Native Americans believed land could not be sold whereas the American government saw capital in land. The book can be seen as an environmental history book.
