Lakota America: A New History of Indigenous Power

byPekka Hämäläinen

In Lakota America, Pekka Hämäläinen presents a historical account centered on a New History of Indigenous Power. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of history and social science. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. Together, these elements make Lakota America an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise. Historical context and individual experience remain equally important to the book's explanation.
