The author argues that the defeat of the Sioux at Wounded Knee in 1890 resolved the problem as to what to do with the American Indians and marked the start of the evolution of white America's policies: separation, concentration and Americanization. Starting with the positions advocated by various groups in colonial America, Weeks explores the historical forces that led to the widespread acceptance of separation.

This book is well written, very informative, and represents the best book about American Indian history in the nineteenth century since Dee Brown's "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee". Highly recommended.
