Winner of the Intolerance in the United States Award from the Gustavus Myers Center for the Study of Human Rights in the United StatesIn the early 1800s, when oncepowerful North American Indian peoples were being driven west across the Mississippi, a Shawnee prophet collapsed into a deep sleep. When he awoke, he told friends and family of his ascension to Indian heaven, where his grandfather had given him a warning: 'Beware of the religion of the white man: every Indian who embraces it is obliged to take the road to the white man's heaven; and yet no red man is permitted to enter there, but will have to wander about forever without a resting place.'The events leading to this vision are the subject of A Spirited Resistance, the poignant story of the Indian movement to challenge AngloAmerican expansionism. Departing from the traditional confines of the history of American Indians, Gregory Evans Dowd carefully draws on ethnographic sources to recapture the beliefs, thoughts, and actions of four principal Indian nationsDelaware, Shawnee, Cherokee, and Creek. The result is a sensitive portrayal of the militant Indiansoften led by prophetswho came to conceive of themselves as a united people, and launched an intertribal campaign to resist the AngloAmerican forces.Dowd also uncovers the Native American opposition to the movement for unity. That opposition, he finds, was usually the result of divisions within Indian communities rather than intertribal rivalry. In fact, Dowd argues, intertribal enmity had little to do with the ultimate failure of the Indian struggle; it was division within Indian communities, colonial influence on Indian government, and the sheer force of the AngloAmerican campaign that brought the Indian resistance movement to an end. An evocative history of long frustration and ultimate failure, A Spirited Resistance tells of a creative people, whose insights, magic, and ritual add a muchneeded dimension to our understanding of the American Indian.
