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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-13032525\"\u003eAngie Debo\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.45h x 5.50w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691237770\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691237778\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS028000\"\u003eIndigenous Peoples in the Americas\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS036000\"\u003eUnited States | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS039000\"\u003eCivilization\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\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","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481540030701,"sku":"9780691237770","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_3db5479e-158c-4be4-8c59-c397d11e7221.jpg?v=1700749126","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/and-still-the-waters-run-the-betrayal-of-the-five-civilized-tribes-9780691237770","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
