Title: The other side of the frontier
Description: The Other Side of the Frontier examines the complex interactions between Native Americans, their economies, and the developing United States economy at large. The essays in this anthology depart from a historiography of Native American-white relations that focuses on a victimized and exploited indigenous people. Rather, they view Native Americans as intelligent and responsive to economic forces, within institutional constraints.

This text fills an existing gap in economic history literature and will help students come to a richer understanding of the effects that U.S. economic policy has had on the culture and development of its indigenous peoples.
