Ronald Niezen approaches this topic through wide-ranging case studies involving different colonial powers and state governments: the seventeenth-century Spanish occupation of the Southwest, the colonization of the Northeast by the French and British, nineteenth-century westward expansion and nationalism in the swelling United States and Canada, and twentieth-century struggles for native people's spiritual integrity and freedom. Each chapter deals with a specific dimension of the relationship between native peoples and non-native institutions, and together these topics yield a new understanding of the forces directed against the underpinnings of native cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51960239882528,"sku":"NEW0520219872","price":38.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/spirit-wars-native-north-american-religions-in-the-age-of-nation-building-0520219872","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
