With so much made of white restitution in South Africa to the black man, this beautiful and sad book makes one wonder how white America escaped recompensing the American Indian for his huge and tragic loss.

A compilation of statements and writings by North American Indians between the 16th and 20th centuries. They recount the pain of the Indian as he watched the white man kill the wild herds and overrun the sacred lands of his ancestors. Mystified at first by the white man's ways, the Indian gives way first to anger, then desperation and, finally, hopelessness.

More than 50 pages of photographs, taken by the American photographer Edward S Curtis in the early 1900's, complement the text.
