That All People May Be One People, Send Rain to Wash the Face of the Earth by Nez Perce Chief Joseph
Chief Joseph recounts the ordeal of his tribe’s forced removal from their Oregon homeland in 1877, and pleads that the idea of human equality be applied to Indians too. Joseph’s words come from interviews published in the 1879 North American Review.

If only certain Americans would have been as honorable and wise as Chief Joseph America would have a much different and more respectable history.
It thoroughly depresses me to think about how people in our country have been treated. But I also think that reading books like this one is incredibly important so that we learn from history and make sure that we never treat people like this again.
So yes, I recommend it. But don’t expect a happy ending.
