Indians of the Pacific Northwest: From the Coming of the White Man to the Present Day - Softcover

The Pacific Northwest was one of the most populated and prosperous regions for Native Americans before the coming of the white man. By the mid-1800s, measles and smallpox decimated the Indian population, and the remaining tribes were forced to give up their ancestral lands. Vine Deloria Jr., named one of the most influential religious thinkers in the world, tells the story of these tribes' fight for survival, one that continues today.

Billy Frank Jr. was the first recipient of Indian Country Today's American Indian Visionary Award.
