Publisher's Synopsis
""The Action of the Interior Department in Forcing the Standing Rock Indians to Lease Their Lands to Cattle Syndicates"" is a book written by Gertrude Bonnin in 1902. The book examines the controversial and unjust actions taken by the United States Department of the Interior in forcing the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe to lease their lands to cattle syndicates. Bonnin, who was a member of the Sioux tribe herself, provides a firsthand account of the devastating effects that this forced lease had on her people. She exposes the corrupt practices of government officials and the manipulation of the legal system to benefit wealthy cattle barons at the expense of Native American communities. The book is a powerful indictment of the unjust treatment of Native Americans by the US government and serves as a call to action for social justice and reform.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
