At the turn of the twentieth century, the tribes owned the eastern half of what is now Oklahoma, a territory immensely wealthy in farmland, forests, coal, and oil. Their political and economic status was guaranteed by the federal government--until American settlers arrived. Congress abrogated treaties that it had promised would last \"as long as the waters run,\" and within a generation, the tribes were systematically stripped of their holdings, and were rescued from starvation only through public charity. Called a \"work of art\" by writer Oliver La Farge, \u003ci\u003eAnd Still the Waters Run\u003c\/i\u003e was so controversial when it was first published that Angie Debo was banned from teaching in Oklahoma for many years. Now with an incisive foreword by Amanda Cobb-Greetham, here is the acclaimed book that first documented the scandalous founding of Oklahoma on native land.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAngie Debo\u003c\/b\u003e (1890-1988) was a writer, lecturer, and historian whose many books include \u003ci\u003eGeronimo: The Man, His Time, His Place\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Road to Disappearance: A History of the Creek Indians\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eThe Rise and Fall of the Choctaw Republic\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eAmanda Cobb-Greetham\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of Native American studies and founding director of the Native Nations Center at the University of Oklahoma.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 504\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 8.45 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 25, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51765787853088,"sku":"9780691237770","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/ccae2bbf2ea579b7763aacbcafdb3505.webp?v=1780280079","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/and-still-the-waters-run-the-betrayal-of-the-five-civilized-tribes-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
