Focusing on the Sioux nation as representative of the entire Native American story, this meticulously researched account allows the great chiefs and warriors to speak for themselves about what happened to the Sioux from 1860 to the Massacre of Wounded Knee in 1891. This dramatic story is essential reading for every student of U.S. history.

The National Archives holds hundreds of thousands of records related to Native Americans, dating back to as early as 1774. These include photographs, original treaties, records from Indian Schools, census records, and Bureau of Indian Affairs records. Hundreds of treaties between the U.S. and Native American tribal nations are now freely available online through the National Archives Catalog.

The online exhibit “Rights of Native Americans” also features a visual timeline of the history of Native American treaties and activism, highlighting tribal sovereignty and cultural preservation.
