✦ Synopsis

Over the 20th century, American Indians fought for the right to be both American and Indian. Rosier traces how Indians defined democracy, citizenship, and patriotism in domestic and international contexts. Native Americans served as a visible symbol of an America searching for rights and justice; American history is incomplete without their story.
