Produktbeschreibung
As a compendium of historical statistics on native American tribes, Nations will fill a unique niche in most academic and large public libraries with reference or research interests in North American Indian affairs. Drawing upon a wide variety of government documents (mostly federal) and scholarly reports, as cited in his extensive bibliography, Stuart's contribution will appeal to anyone who seeks demographic or economic data about Indians, past or present. . . . Nations is a well-crafted, balanced, convenient tool for reference work and will prove useful to many libraries, scholars, policymakers, and tribal groups. Booklist Professor Stuart has provided a unique research and reference tool covering a wide range of topics relating to Indian history. In his introduction Stuart discusses the scope and purpose of the volume and describes the difficulties involved in obtaining accurate and comprehensive information on Indian affairs, especially prior to the twentieth century. Each chapter assesses the historical significance of the available data and supplies statistical information in table form as well as suggestions on further reading and other avenues of research. Chapter topics include land base and climate, population, removal and relocation, urbanization, vital statistics, health, education, employment, income, resources and economic development, and the activities of the federal government.
