Life Among The Piutes: Their Wrongs And Claims (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781163413081)

""Life Among The Piutes: Their Wrongs And Claims"" is a historical account written by Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins, a member of the Northern Paiute tribe, about the experiences of her people during the late 19th century. The book details the struggles and injustices faced by the Paiute people as they were forced to adapt to the encroachment of white settlers on their land. Hopkins describes the impact of European American settlement on the Paiute way of life, including the loss of their traditional hunting grounds, the introduction of diseases, and the forced removal of Native American children to boarding schools. The book also highlights the efforts of Hopkins and other Native American activists to advocate for the rights of their people, including lobbying for land rights and education reform. Overall, ""Life Among The Piutes"" offers a powerful and personal perspective on the impact of colonialism and the ongoing struggles for Native American sovereignty and justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
