Description:
This broad, colorful interpretative narrative of Native American history is intended for courses that deal with the history of American Indians usually found in history and ethnic studies departments. Although the text covers the period from prehistory to the present in a chronological progression, the emphasis is on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It is written in a readable, flowing manner and is deeply rooted in native traditions and lore. The title is a reference to a message sent by President Andrew Jackson to the Choctaws and Chickasaws indicating that as a friend, he planned to move the people to the trans-Mississippi West to "land of their own, which they shall possess as long as grass grows or water runs".
