“There are a good number of books on the subject, but none provide
the scope that this one does. . . . I can surely see this becoming
the standard book to which people turn when wanting to know the
story of Indian claims.”—Christian McMillen, author of Making
Indian Law: The Hualapai Land Case and the Birth of
Ethnohistory

“A highly readable and important study on the history of Native
claims against the United States. . . . To my knowledge, this is
the first sustained scholarly effort to link the acts of promise
making and the consequences of promise-breaking between the US and
the tribal nations with a close examination of the various
institutional mechanisms developed over time to resolve those
claims.“—N. Bruce Duthu, author of American Indians and the Law
