Traditional texts glory in our nation's western expansion, the great conquest of the virgin frontier. 

But, how did the original Americans, The Dakota, Nes Perce, Utes, Poncas, Cheyenne, Navaho, Apache, and others feel about the coming of the white man, the expropriation of their land, the destruction of their way of life?  What happened to Geronimo, Chief Joseph, Cochise, Red Cloud, Little Wolf, and Setting Bull as their people were killed or driven onto reservations during decades of broken promises, oppression, and war?

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is a documented account of the systematic plunder of the American Indians during the second half of the nineteenth century, battle by battle, massacre by massacre, broken treaty by broken treaty.
