"In his admirable book, Roger L. Nichols takes on the intimidating task of comparing the histories of hundreds of Indian peoples in the United States and Canada over five centuries...Writing within the framework of the two nations and their growth, Nichols nonetheless sees events as much from the Indian angle as from the white...This is only one of many virtues in this thoughtful, largely successful and ambitious book." - "Times Literary Supplement". "An insightful comparative history ...The book presents a survey of the key issues and dynamics that shaped relations between natives and the new forces they faced...Nichols formulates a true comparative approach; rather than merely presenting the Canadian story alongside that of the U.S., he effectively integrates the two throughout the work." - "Choice". Drawing upon a vast array of primary and secondary sources, Roger L. Nichols traces the changing relationships between Native peoples and whites, from colonial times to the present. Roger L. Nichols is a professor of history at the University of Arizona. He is coeditor of "Natives and Strangers".
