Offi cially Indian: Symbols That Defi ne the United States Cécile R. Ganteaume
From maps, monuments, and architectural features to stamps and currency, images of Native Americans have been used on visual expressions of American national identity since before the country’s founding. In the fi rst in-depth study of this extraordinary archive, the author argues that these representations refl ect how government institutions have attempted to defi ne what the country stands for and reveals how deeply embedded American Indians are in the United States’ sense of itself as a nation.

Nation to Nation: Treaties Between the United States & American Indian Nations Edited by Suzan Shown Harjo (Cheyenne and Holdulgee Muscogee)
Treaties between the federal government and Native Nations rest at the heart of American history, yet most Americans know little about them. In Nation to Nation, thirty-one essays and interviews from the country’s foremost scholars of Native history and law explore the signifi cance of the diplomacy, promises, and betrayals involved in two hundred years of treaty making, as one side sought to own the riches of North America and the other struggled to hold on to its homelands and ways of life.
