In this timely and urgent book, settler historian Margaret Jacobs tells the stories of the individuals and communities who are working together to heal historical wounds-and reveals how much we have to gain by learning from our history instead of denying it. Jacobs traces the brutal legacy of systemic racial injustice to Indigenous people that has endured since the nation's founding. Explaining how early attempts at reconciliation succeeded only in robbing tribal nations of their land and forcing their children into abusive boarding schools, she shows that true reconciliation must emerge through Indigenous leadership and sustained relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people that are rooted in specific places and histories. In the absence of an official apology and a federal Truth and Reconciliation Commission, ordinary people are creating a movement for transformative reconciliation that puts Indigenous land rights, sovereignty, and values at the forefront. With historical sensitivity and an eye to the future, Jacobs urges us to face our past and learn from it, and once we have done so, to redress past abuses. Drawing on dozens of interviews, After One Hundred Winters reveals how Indigenous people and settlers in America today, despite their troubled history, are finding unexpected gifts in reconciliation"-- Provided by publisher Analysis Abolitionism Adoption American Indian Stories American Indian boarding schools Annual report Apache Apology Resolution Arapaho Arkansas River Armenian Genocide Aunt Bear River Massacre Bernie Farber Bison hunting Black Kettle Boarding school Bureau of Indian Affairs Burial Cache Valley Canadian Indian residential school system Cemetery Ceran St. Vrain Cherokee Nation Cherokee Cheyenne Comanche Coroner Dakota people Dawes Act Edward Everett Hale European colonization of the Americas Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Extended family Fort Lyon George Armstrong Custer George Bent Grandparent Helen Hunt Falls Helen Hunt Jackson His Family Historical society History wars In Cold Blood In This World Indian Burial Ground Indian Citizenship Act Indian Reorganization Act Indian Territory Indian people Indigenous peoples of the Americas Indigenous peoples James Beckwourth James Russell Lowell John Chivington Joseph LaFlesche Justin Trudeau Keith Windschuttle Lakota language Lakota people Lodgepole Month My Father National Sorry Day Native Americans in the United States Nebraska State Historical Society New Deal New Laws Niobrara River Noongar Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr Omaha Reservation Oregon Overland Trail Pawnee Scouts Pawnee people Permanent Settlement Presidency of Barack Obama Ralph Waldo Emerson Refugee Richard Henry Pratt Rutherford B.
