Review:

There is a through line.  We have screwed the Native Americans at pretty much every turn.  They did not lie down and take it, but they kept getting hit.  The book was hard reading as the details are pretty horrifying and I have the feeling that Blackhawk spared some of the truly horrific.  Oh, and pretty much every treaty was broken by anyone who treated with Native Americans.
