Summary: Good place to start in understanding our difficult past
Comment: Forbes has written a well-documented and lucid account of the local tribes in California and Nevada dealing with a succession of non-native invaders: the Spanish, the Mexican-Indian, and the Anglo-Americans. Unfortunately, these invaders used increasingly hostile forms of removal, forced labor camps, and extermination to achieve their desires for land and resouces. Can the US criticize any nation for ethnic cleansing or genocide with such a history? Certainly not without acknowledging our own past: this is the fresh perspective one gets from reading Forbes' book. Forbes also makes clear there has been a long process of renewal in local tribes, which continues with vigor and hopefulness today.
