This Day in North American Indian History
From the book cover:
"For every calendar day, an in-depth look at the important events in the history of
North America’s native peoples.
From the dedication of the Maya ballcourt at Chichen Itza in A.D. 864 to modern
political activism and government legislation affecting native peoples, here is
virtually every significant event in North American Indian history. It also includes
fascinating information on hundreds of battles and skirmishes between Indians and
whites, as well as countless treaties made and broken. An extensive appendix includes
information about Indian tribal names and calendars. It’s all here—Indian chiefs,
wars, massacres, treaties, reservations, modern constitutions and much, much more.
This Day in North American Indian History is a one-of-a-kind, vastly
entertaining and informative book covering over 5000 years of North American Indian
history, culture, and lore. Wide-ranging, it covers over 4,000 important events
involving the native peoples of North America in a unique day-by-day format.
The thousands of entries in This Day in North American Indian History weave

Native American History For Dummies. Click on the cover to order a copy or to get more info.
I wrote six of the twenty-four chapters in this book. I am credited with being the technical editor.
Book Description:
Native American History For Dummies introduces readers to the thousand-year-plus
history of the first inhabitants of North America and explains their influence on
the European settlement of the continent. Covering the history and customs of the
scores of tribes that once populated the land, this friendly guide features vivid
studies of the lives of such icons as Pocahontas, Sitting Bull, and Sacagawea;
discusses warfare and famous battles, offering new perspectives from both battle
lines; and includes new archaeological and forensic evidence, as well as oral
histories that show events from the perspective of these indigenous peoples. The
authors worked in concert with Native American authorities, institutions, and
historical experts to provide a wide range of insight and information.

Treaties With American Indians I wrote an article and several appendix items for this book.
Click on the cover to order a copy or to get more info.
From a review on Amazon.com: *Starred Review* In the 93 years from 1778 until 1871, there were
more than 400 treaties negotiated by Indian agents and government officials. These often included
more than one tribe and covered a range of issues including ceded lands, payments and annuities,
reservations, hunting and fishing rights, provisions for education, sovereignty issues, and more.
Although the subject of treaties between American Indians and the U.S. government is vast and
complex, editor Fixico and more than 150 contributors have crafted a comprehensive tool that will
soon become essential for anyone interested in the topic. Volume 1 contains 22 essays dealing with
federal policy, historical periods, regional treaty making, and other topics. The essays vary from 7 to
12 pages, and each contains a bibliography with references and items for further reading. Volume 2
provides short, chronologically arranged entries describing specific terms of both U.S. and Canadian
treaties with Indians as well as A–Z entries for significant treaty sites. All entries have see also
references and a short bibliography. This volume also contains the text of 40 treaties. The third
volume offers a detailed historical chronology with 1- to 2-page entries, followed by biographical
profiles of historical and contemporary individuals associated with treaties and Native rights. The
third section of this volume contains entries that explain treaty-related issues, such as Assimilation,
Doctrine of discovery, and the Trust doctrine. Volumes 1 and 2 have numerous black-and-white
illustrations but no maps. A resource section with lists of “Alternate Tribal Names and Spellings,”
“Tribal Name Meanings,” Treaties by Tribe,” and “Common Treaty Names” and a bibliography and
comprehensive index are repeated in each volume. Both students and librarians will find the
arrangement somewhat cumbersome, but it does provide the user with various lenses through which
to view this complicated topic, and it makes particular aspects of the topic more manageable. This
impressive set has a place in any academic library that supports a Native American studies or
American history curriculum. It also would be useful in public libraries where patrons are interested
in the subject. It is the most comprehensive source of information on Canadian-Indian treaties and
U.S.-Indian treaties. Also available as an e-book.
