Publisher's Synopsis
""The Action of the Interior Department in Forcing the Standing Rock Indians to Lease Their Lands to Cattle Syndicates"" is a historical book written by Gertrude Bonnin in 1902. The book focuses on the forced leasing of lands of the Standing Rock Indian Reservation, located in the Dakotas, to cattle syndicates by the United States Department of the Interior. Bonnin, who was a Native American activist and educator, provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the forced leasing and the impact it had on the Standing Rock Sioux tribe. She highlights the injustices and broken promises made by the U.S. government towards Native American tribes and the devastating effects of such actions on their way of life. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American history and the ongoing struggle for indigenous rights in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
