Indigenous Citizens: Native Americans' Fight for Sovereignty, 1776-2025 [9781324105879]

Overview

{"p":["Only Native Americans have held the political identity of being citizens of nations within a nation. After the American Revolution, they had to decide whether gaining United States citizenship would help to preserve their rights and property or be used to take them away—and they found out that either decision could end in loss.",{"em":"Indigenous Citizens"},"This masterful work highlights Native people’s efforts to preserve their tribal sovereignty and to secure the civil rights afforded to other Americans. In it, Rosier chronicles Native Americans’ extraordinary resistance to colonialism, forced removals from ancestral homelands, and coercion into Indian Boarding Schools, even as the United States government broke treaty after treaty. He explores how Native people defended their right to be both Native and American. Native Americans differ religiously, culturally, and politically. But, as Rosier weaves together their experiences negotiating tribal, state, and national status, he reveals their vision for a country that could live up to the ideals of its Constitution. Through military service, activism, and political writings, Native people have long championed their belief in a United States of civil liberties and called on it to honor its legal obligations.",{"em":"Indigenous Citizens"}]}
