Abstract: Dee Brown?s Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is a history of the mistreatment of the American Indian in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The point of view is from a Native American, so any bias of Manifest Destiny is left out. The focus is on the plight of Native Americans west of the Mississippi River. Firsthand accounts retell the injustices brought upon the Native Americans. These include unprovoked massacres and broken promises that take away all of their land. Through this book, one is able to empathize with today?s Native American. The events culminate in the atrocities at Wounded Knee, which was the final spirit-breaker of the Native Americans. After battling for what was rightfully theirs, the Native Americans finally conceded their land, a concept foreign to them until the arrival of the Europeans. The contents of this book shame the reader into facing history and accepting the unforgivable wrongs of his people.
