Review # 1 was written on 2008-02-26 00:00:00 Brian Hooper In the first chapter, the author was very one-sided and angry. He is Native American, so I understand his aggression. If I did not have to read this for a class, I would have put it down after a few pages because the author is deliberately slanted. In the second chapter, Spring calms down, and the book moves along very well. He deftly covers the subject of forced assimilation and deculturization on non-white cultures since the 1700's. It is not the definitive word on this type of treatment because I believe every story has 2 sides, but it is definitely worth reading. There were many things I was unaware of before I read this book. This book is relevant because of our current situation with illegal immigrants. It may just change a few opinions.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-02-02 00:00:00 Alexander Kuo The book was full of relevant information, but the content was disorganized at times. Some supporting facts had little to do with the topic of the paragraph, at other times content from several pages early was written again. Most of all, it felt like Spring was in a place to write the history of the Native Americans but was guessing at other areas of the book. Oh, and a personal pet peeve, Wikipedia should never be used as a source in an informational text of this level. Take the time to find a reliable source or don't include the information.
