The Indian Today: The Past And Future Of The First American is a book written by Charles A. Eastman and originally published in 1915. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the history, culture, and current situation of Native Americans in the United States. Eastman, who was himself a Native American and a member of the Dakota Sioux tribe, draws on his personal experiences and extensive research to present a nuanced and insightful perspective on the challenges facing his people.The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of Native American life. The first section focuses on the history of the Native American people, from their origins in pre-Columbian times to the arrival of Europeans and the subsequent colonization of the Americas. Eastman describes the impact of this colonization on Native American culture and society, including the forced relocation of tribes, the loss of land and resources, and the devastating effects of disease and warfare.The second section of the book examines the current state of Native American communities in the early 20th century. Eastman discusses the challenges facing Native Americans, including poverty, discrimination, and the loss of traditional culture and language. He also explores the efforts of Native Americans to preserve their heritage and to advocate for their rights.The final section of the book looks to the future of Native American communities. Eastman expresses optimism about the potential for Native Americans to reclaim their cultural identity and to achieve greater political and economic power. He also offers suggestions for how non-Native Americans can support these efforts and work towards a more just and equitable society.Overall, The Indian Today: The Past And Future Of The First American is a powerful and thought-provoking work that offers a unique perspective on Native American history and culture. Eastman's insights and observations continue to be relevant today, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the complex issues facing Native American communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
