Summary "This book is a volume in Native American history, in African American history, and in the long history of the settlement of the U.S. West. The Indian Removal brought eastern Indians to Indian Territory (now modern-day Oklahoma); the eastern Indians appropriated land from the Indians already living there, and they used the language of colonization to do it. In addition, they held slaves"-- Provided by publisher.
