General Analysis

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown chronicles the tragic history of the American West from the perspective of Native American tribes during the period of westward expansion in the United States (roughly 1860-1890). The narrative unfolds through the voices and experiences of various Indigenous leaders and their peoples as they faced broken treaties, forced removals from their ancestral lands, and violent conflicts with the U.S. government and settlers. The book explores themes of injustice, cultural destruction, resistance, and the devastating impact of government policies on the lives and sovereignty of American Indian nations. It highlights key events and the struggles of tribes to preserve their way of life.
