Theodore Roosevelt and Six Friends of the Indian
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
- Publish date: 01/01/2006
As a result of these contacts, Roosevelt entered the White House relatively well informed on tribal affairs. As president he proved remarkably responsive to the six men's views, even when it brought him into conflict with members of his own cabinet, Hagan outlines the divisions along religious lines and the political rivalries behind the contest for the support of President Roosevelt. The vagaries of Indian administration by the federal government are evident, as is the unfortunate situation of noncitizen tribal peoples living as wards of the United States.
Theodore Roosevelt and Six Friends of the Indian presents to the reader a new Roosevelt who differs from the Indian-hating chauvinist so frequently encountered in the literature. This book reveals that in fact Roosevelt sympathized with the plight of the Indians and respected their institutions and culture.
