Notes

A comparative historical study examining the implementation of the 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty between the United States and the Lakotas and Treaty Six (1876) between Canada and the Plains Cree. Shifting emphasis from treaty negotiation to treaty enforcement and interpretation, the volume analyzes political debates, legislative records, government correspondence, and contemporary publications to assess how both Native and non-Native parties understood and experienced these agreements in the years following their signing.
