Native American estate : the struggle over Indian and Hawaiian lands

Parker, Linda S. (Linda Sue) 1949- (Author).

Summary: "Despite many differences in their traditional society and post-contact history, American Indians and Native Hawaiians share one overwhelming circumstance of oppression: they have been disposed of lands they enjoyed before European emigrants invaded what are now the fifty United States. Native American Estate undertakes to recount the history of that dispossession and the efforts of the indigenous populations to resist or reverse it. Linda Parker ... has done a remarkable job of compressing centuries of history, ethnography, and politics."--Ethnohistory.
