A historical study examining the central role of race in Native American and United States history from the colonial era to the modern period. The book traces how Euro-American and Native American racial identities were formed and contested over four centuries, including colonial wars, the creation of reservations and boarding schools, and modern Native activism. Themes include the construction of White and Native identity, the effects of racial ideology on national policy, and the resilience and resistance of Native peoples. The work situates Native Americans as integral to understanding U.S. racial history
