| Description: |
Although this history ranges from prehistory to the 21st century, the emphasis is on the 19th and 20th centuries. It begins with native oral narratives of creation stories and ends with the theme of life and history as full circle. |
| Synopsis: |
Although coverage chronologically spans from prehistory to the present, the emphasis is on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It is written in a readable, flowing manner and is deeply rooted in native traditions and lore. The title is a reference to a message sent by President Andrew Jackson to the Choctaws and Chickasaws indicating that, as a friend, he planned to move the people to the Trans-Mississippi West to "land of their own, which they shall possess as long as grass grows or water runs." |
