| Summary | "The American Indian in the United States, Period 1850-1914" by Warren K. Moorehead is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work examines the conditions, political history, and cultural transitions of Native Americans over a critical period in U.S. history. The author aims to shed light on the challenges faced by the American Indian as they navigate the pressures of assimilation and the loss of their ancestral lands. At the start of the book, Moorehead introduces the current plight of American Indians during a transformative era between 1850 and 1914. He emphasizes the need for a humanitarian approach to understanding their conditions, rather than relying solely on scientific studies of the past. The opening portion discusses the shift from tribal life to individual citizenship, revealing the complexities and struggles faced by modern Indians who are increasingly subject to exploitation and disempowerment. The author argues that the responsibility for the future of these communities lies with the broader American society, advocating for a more just and informed response to the ongoing issues affecting Native Americans.
