Indians in American History contains essays by thirteen authors who provide a perspective on the breadth and complexity of American Indian history. A leading figure in the development of American Indian studies, Hoxie contributed to this field as teacher, scholar, and administrator, for eleven years directing the Newberry Library's D'Arcy McNickle Center for American Indian History. He served an additional four years as the library's Vice President for Research and Education. He followed a similar path at the University of Illinois, helping to found the institution's American Indian Studies program. He was instrumental in founding a multi-university consortium to support graduate education in Native American studies. His leadership fostered the sophistication of American Indian studies as it is known today. Hoxie is the author or editor of more than a dozen books, including The Encyclopedia of North American Indians and This Indian Country. The contributions of his books and articles, including Cambridge Studies in North American Indian History, which he co-edited for more than two decades, are immense. Hoxie has offered his scholarship and administrative acumen to American Indian communities, sitting on advisory boards for films, exhibits and other public projects and serving as a consultant to government agencies and an expert witness on behalf of tribes. He was a founding trustee of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian. "So we went to school to copy, to imitate; not to exchange language and ideas, and not to develop the best traits that had come out of uncountable experiences of hundreds and thousands of years living upon this continent. Our annals, all-happenings of human import, were stored in our song and dance rituals, our history differing in that it was not stored in books, but in the living memory. So, while the white people had much to teach us, we had much to teach them, and what a school could have been established upon that idea!" - Luther Standing Bear, Land of the Spotted Eagle (1933). Includes contributions from Alvin Josephy and Richard West!
