The American Indians

Heike Bungert

History of the indigenous nations in the USA.

The North American Indians then and now - the new standard work.

Although the history of the Indians began some 16,000 years ago, with the arrival of the Whites in the 15th century, everything changed for the indigenous peoples on the North American continent. Heike Bungert, who is one of the leading German connoisseurs, has written a competent, up to date account, which avoids romantic clichés focusing on the active role of the indigenous peoples.

She describes indigenous cultures, the encounter of the Indians with the Euro-Americans, the expulsion and the attempt to destroy indigenous societies, but also the resistance of the Indians. Special attention is payed to the coexistence between the state of the USA and the members of the indigenous nations.
