"The American Indian in the United States, Period 1850-1914" by Warren K. Moorehead is a historical exploration that highlights the difficult era of cultural change and political struggle faced by Native Americans in the United States between 1850 and 1914. Moorehead starts by underlining the pressing needs and challenges that American Indians encountered as they navigated the tensions of forced assimilation amid the loss of their ancestral lands. He focuses on the complex transition from traditional tribal life to individual citizenship, exposing stories of exploitation and injustice against modern Indians. Moorehead urges American society to take responsibility for the future of Native American communities, demanding more reasonable and enlightened solutions to the problems they continue to face.
