Beskrivelse af Life Among The Piutes
""Life Among the Piutes: Their Wrongs and Claims"" is a non-fiction book written by Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins. It was first published in 1883 and is a memoir of the author's life as a member of the Paiute tribe, as well as a history of the tribe's interactions with white settlers in the American West. The book is divided into two parts. The first part is a personal account of Hopkins' life as a Paiute woman, including her childhood, her education, and her experiences as a translator and advocate for her people. She also describes the traditional Paiute way of life, including their customs, beliefs, and practices. The second part of the book is more historical in nature, detailing the injustices and abuses suffered by the Paiute people at the hands of white settlers and the United States government. Hopkins describes the forced relocation of the Paiute people to reservations, the loss of their land and resources, and the mistreatment they endured in boarding schools and other institutions. She also advocates for the recognition of Paiute sovereignty and the return of their ancestral lands. Overall, ""Life Among the Piutes"" is a powerful and important work that sheds light on the experiences of Native Americans during a pivotal time in American history. It is an essential read for anyone interested in Native American history and the ongoing struggle for indigenous rights and sovereignty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
