“Nation to Nation: Treaties Between the United States and American Indian Nations” is our September 2014 Book of the Month. This collection, edited by activist and author Suzan Shown Harjo (Cheyenne/HodulgeeMuscogee), covers a new exhibit that marks the 10th anniversary of the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI). The pages of the book represent a conversation about the impact treaties made the U.S. government have had on our tribal nations. How deeply rooted are treaties in to your tribe’s history? Have your own treaties been honored? Do you feel treaties have the same strength today as they did when they were first made? What can we learn about the U.S. from past agreements?
