Description
""Chief Pushmataha, American Patriot: The Story Of The Choctaws' Struggle For Survival"" by Anna Lewis is a historical account of the Choctaw Nation's fight for survival in the face of colonization and forced removal. The book centers around the life of Chief Pushmataha, a prominent Choctaw leader who played a key role in negotiating with the United States government and advocating for his people's rights. The book begins with an overview of the Choctaw Nation's pre-colonial history and culture, including their agricultural practices, social structure, and spiritual beliefs. It then delves into the arrival of European settlers and the subsequent conflicts and treaties that shaped the Choctaws' relationship with the United States. Throughout the book, Lewis highlights the ways in which Chief Pushmataha worked to protect his people's land, resources, and autonomy. She describes his efforts to negotiate treaties with the US government, his role in the War of 1812, and his advocacy for the Choctaws' right to self-governance. The book also explores the devastating impact of the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which forced the Choctaws and other Native American tribes to leave their ancestral lands and relocate to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma). Lewis describes the hardships and injustices faced by the Choctaws during this time, including disease, starvation, and violence. Overall, ""Chief Pushmataha, American Patriot"" offers a comprehensive and engaging account of the Choctaw Nation's struggle for survival and the leadership of one of its most influential figures. It sheds light on a little-known chapter of American history and highlights the ongoing challenges faced by Native American communities today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
