Exiled Native Americans in the Land of the Free

It’s little identified that the Revolutionary Warfare and the writing of the US Structure and Invoice of Rights have been strongly influenced by Native American traditions. European philosophers of the Enlightenment comparable to Jean Jacques Rousseau had begun urgent for democratic reforms in Europe on the idea of glowing experiences by early settlers in regards to the New World and its native inhabitants.

The founding fathers of the United States drew inspiration from Native American statesmen and societies, embracing values like individual freedom, representative government, and the democratic union of tribes. However, despite their significant contributions to America's formation, Native Americans have not received proper recognition. They have long been deprived of fully enjoying the freedoms they helped establish on exiled lands.

Exiled within the Land of the Free is a compelling tale that delves into early American history, told through the voices of eight distinguished Native American leaders and scholars. This landmark volume, titled Exiled within the Land of the Free: Democracy, Indian Nations, and the U.S. Constitution, not only provides a dramatic account of the past but also serves as a powerful call for reform that demands attention. Each contributor, an expert in their field, brings a unique perspective to this insightful exploration that is sure to resonate for generations to come.

For centuries, a critical piece of American history has been sidelined and dismissed: the profound influence of Native People on the very foundation of our democratic institutions. "Exiled in the Land of the Free" stands as a groundbreaking work that not only acknowledges this legacy but also links our participatory democracy back to its Native American origins. This influential book, now a part of the Congressional Document, signifies a pivotal moment in shaping future relationships between Indian tribes and the US and other governments worldwide. Advocating strongly for Native American sovereignty, it offers a unique perspective by narrating American history through the lens of Indigenous peoples, rather than the traditional European viewpoint. Embraced by twelve universities for their courses, "Exiled in the Land of the Free" is a testament to the enduring relevance of this important narrative.
