VERLAGSTEXT: / / Red Cloud, Crazy Horse, and Sitting Bull are iconic figures in the American imagination, but in this groundbreaking book they emerge as something different: the architects of Lakota America, an expansive and enduring Indigenous regime that commanded human fates in the North American interior for generations. In this first complete account of the Lakota Indians Pekka Hämäläinen traces their rich and often surprising history from the early sixteenth to the early twenty-first century. He explores the Lakotas roots as marginal hunter-gatherers and reveals how they reinvented themselves twice: first as a river people who dominated the Missouri Valley, America&;s great commercial artery, and then in what was Americas first sweeping westward expansion&;as a horse people who ruled supreme on the vast high plains. / / AUS DEM INHALT: / / Acknowledgments vii / A Note on Terminology ix / Introduction: Dark Matter of History 1 / one A Place in the World 11 / two Facing West 50 / three The Imperial Cauldron 85 / four The Lakota Meridian 118 / five The Call of the White Buffalo Calf Woman 164 / six Empires 208 / seven War 248 / eight Shapeshifters 294 / nine Upside-Down Soldiers 337 / Epilogue: The Lakota Struggle for Indigenous Sovereignty 380 / List of Abbreviations 393 / Notes 399 / Glossary 507 / Index 509
