More chronicles of renowned native leaders who grappled with the
catastrophic arrival of foreigners on their soil, and the measures they took to
protect their people. Tecumseh, the Shawnee leader who tried to unite all
tribes into a single alliance; Geronimo, who fought to keep his people's
homeland in New Mexico; Crowfoot, the Blackfoot who made not war but treaty
with the Canadian government; Crazy Horse, the Sioux war chief who commanded
his warriors against General George Custer; Wovoka, the Paiute prophet who gave
the Ghost Dance to his people; Plenty Coups, a Crow chief who fought with the
Americans and tried to bring the two cultures together.
