520    "Nation to Nation explores the promises, diplomacy, and 
       betrayals involved in treaties and treaty making between 
       the United States government and Native nations. One side 
       sought to own the riches of North America and the other 
       struggled to hold on to traditional homelands and ways of 
       life. The book reveals how the ideas of honor, fair 
       dealings, good faith, rule of law, and peaceful relations 
       between nations have been tested and challenged in 
       historical and modern times. The book consistently 
       demonstrates how and why centuries-old treaties remain 
       living, relevant documents for both Natives and non-
       Natives in the 21st century"--|cProvided by publisher. 
520    "Approximately 368 treaties were negotiated and signed by 
       U.S. commissioners and tribal leaders (and subsequently 
       approved by the U.S. Senate) from 1777 to 1868. These 
       treaties enshrine promises the U.S. government made to 
       Indian people and recognize tribes as nations--a fact that
       distinguishes tribal citizens from other Americans, and 
       supports contemporary Native assertions of tribal 
       sovereignty and self-determination. Treaties are legally 
       binding and still in effect. Beginning in the 1960s, 
       Native activists invoked America's growing commitment to 
       social justice to restore broken treaties. Today, the 
       reassertion of treaty rights and tribal self-determination
       is evident in renewed tribal political, economic, and 
       cultural strength, as well as in reinvigorated nation-to-
       nation relations with the United States"--|cProvided by
