内容简介：
Might always makes right, until it's too late, and we say it
was wrong after all. Surely one of the biggest illegal land grabs
in history took place right here in River City, otherwise known as
the USA. Over a period of three hundred years, the original
inhabitants of this vast country were dispossessed of nearly
everything---their land, their pride, their language, their
culture, and in many cases, their right to live. Brushed off as
"savages", "primitive", "children of nature" and by other edifying
epithets, by 1900, the surviving American Indians had been confined
to a gulag archipelago of reservations, some of only a few
acres---though these lands were at least nominally controlled by
them. Alcohol and disease had brought them low, combined with
massacres and forced migrations. And these were the lucky ones !
Many tribes, especially in the east, lost everything, reduced to
remnants whose language and culture were all but destroyed, barely
managing to hang on amidst the sea of uncaring white immigrants.
Although the 20th century proved a time of resurgence for many
Native Americans, many problems still remain. We've seen the
endless Hollywood movies about Indians. John Wayne, such a decent
guy, if a bit quick on the trigger, always gets the better of the
Indians. That stock image of Indians is rampant. But how did these
people really react to the European invasion ? Did they just run
whooping out of the forest into the guns of the "sturdy white
troopers" ? No, I don't think so. They were a lot smarter, but they
got outnumbered, and their own internal dissensions helped to do
them in too. If Alvin Josephy writes from the point of a white man
and does not live up to the strictures of political correctness of
35 years later, he certainly is not "anti-Indian"; he illustrates
the problems of unifying a mosaic of peoples, shows the whites as
generally brutal, greedy, and treacherous, at the same time not
trying to show the Indians as angels either.
Throughout the three centuries of conflict over North America,
Indians consistently produced leaders of high quality who tried
desperately to stem the tide, to stop the steady loss of lands.
That they ultimately did not succeed does not say anything about
their character. Josephy has written a detailed history of nine of
the most successful leaders, those who most challenged the European
invaders, their armies and all. Starting from the nearly mythical
Hiawatha, who unlike the hero of Longfellow's epic, did not live in
Minnesota, but in upstate New York, he follows the advancing line
of the colonists across the continent, to end with the inspiring
tale of the Nez Perces led by Chief Joseph. "King Philip" of New
England, whose real name was Metacom, was the first to try to build
a pan-tribal alliance against the land grabbers. He was followed by
such men as Pope of the Pueblo peoples, Pontiac, and Tecumseh.
Asi-Yaholo (known to history as Osceola) of the Seminoles, Black
Hawk of the Sauk, and Crazy Horse of the Lakota round out the
roster of famous Indian leaders. Though I felt that the Crazy Horse
chapter contained too many extraneous details of the comings and
goings of Indian bands and white troopers, in general THE PATRIOT
CHIEFS is very well-written, bringing in Indian origins, culture,
and ways of life. Though the Indians ultimately lost, you cannot
fail to be impressed with their courage and determination to defend
their homes and people. Perhaps the USA is the "land of the brave",
because all human beings possess bravery in varying quantities.
Reading this book, I would have to question "land of the
free"...free for whom ? Nearly all these leaders were betrayed,
their peoples exiled or killed, and every agreement broken. We did
get their land for free. It is all a saddening, depressing tale,
but definitely worth reading.
