Native Americans in the United States, similar to other indigenous people, created political, economic, and social movements to meet and adjust to major changes that impacted their cultures. For centuries, Native Americans dealt with the onslaught of non-Indian land claims, the appropriation of their homelands, and the destruction of their ways of life. Through various movements, Native Americans accepted, rejected, or acclimated to the nontraditional worldviews of the colonizers and their policies. Historical Dictionary of Native American Movements, Third Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 300 cross-referenced entries on such topics as key movements, organizations, leadership strategies, and the major issues these groups confronted. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Native Americans.

This timely and comprehensive work serves as a solid contribution to Native American scholarship and should be of interest to academic and large public libraries.
