Filling an important gap in the chronology of Native American studies, from the 1893 Columbian Exposition to the 1920s congressional land hearings, Talking Back To Civilization shares the voices of those who worked in a variety of fields to defend their communities and culture. Twenty-one primary sources from journal articles, testimony, and political cartoons by Native Americans of the Progressive Era focus on subjects such as native religion, education, and Indian service in World War I.
