This is an introductory work which presents a profile of the relationship between American Indians and Europeans, and later Americans, from the early sixteenth century onward. Its intent is to provide college students and general readers a clear overview of significant aspects of the American Indian experience with those people who asserted their control over the continent. The story is generally told in this volume within the framework of white history -- first because Indian policy was formulated from the white perspective rather than from that of the First Nations, and secondly because whites so influentially affected the American Indians -- their lives, culture and history.
