About this book
In the mid-19th century, as the United States expanded westward, the complex tapestry of Native American life along the upper Missouri River faced profound changes. "Indian Tribes of the Upper Missouri," edited with notes and biographical sketches by Edwin Thompson Denig, presents a meticulous examination of tribes such as the Assiniboin and Sioux, highlighting their cultural practices and social structures. This document is invaluable for its detailed accounts of tribal governance and intertribal relations, offering insights into how these communities navigated the encroaching pressures of American expansion. Ideal for historians and civic activists, this work serves as a critical resource for understanding the resilience and agency of Indigenous peoples in a transformative era.
