La vida, los ritos y la organizacion tribal de los miticos "pieles rojas": Los Sioux, los Arapajoes, los Cheyenes, los Cheroquis… Desde la batalla de Little Big Horn, el liderazgo de los grandes jefes como Cochise, Geronimo, Toro Sentado, hasta la masacre de Wonded Knee.Sioux, Arapaho, Cheyenne, Cherokee... Discover the intense history of the Native Americans, their customs, their rituals, their organization and their steady, although weak fight against the White Man.When the European colonizers arrived in North America, there were already some tribes of strange and prehistoric customs with Asian ancestors living there. It is estimated that, at the beginning of the 18th Century, the indigenous population living between the territories of North America and the north of the Rio Grande numbered approximately one million. Their conflict with the foreign invaders would give rise to one of the bloodiest and darkest periods in the history of humankind.The first contacts between the Indians and the colonizers were pacific and, in large part, of a commercial nature. Conflicts were usually resolved through signed treaties. In 1540, the first wars began when the Spanish led by Vazquez de Coronado battled the Zuni tribe. It was not until 1890, when the US Cavalry massacred the Sioux tribe led by Big Foot at Wounded Knee that these wars ended and thereby closed 3 centuries of constant armed battle between the "pale faces" and the "redskins".Cuando los colonos llegaron a Norteamerica, vivian en sus tierras unas tribus de extranos y prehistoricos usos, cuyos ancestros procedian de Asia.Se estima que, a comienzos del siglo XVIII, la poblacion indigena instalada entre los territorios de la America septentrional y el norte del Rio Grande era de aproximadamente un millon de individuos. Su choque con los forasteros invasores daria lugar a uno de los episodios mas sangrientos e innobles en las historia de la humanidad.Los primeros contactos entre indigenas y colonos fueron pacificos y, en su mayoria, de indole comercial, y las tensiones solian resolverse a traves de la firma de tratados. En 1540 comenzaron los primeros conflictos belicos, cuando los conquistadores espanoles al mando de Vazquez de Coronado se enfrentaron con los Zuni, y finalizaron en 1890, cuando la caballeria estadounidense masacro a la tribu de los Sioux liderada por Pie Grande en Wounded Knee. Se cierran asi casi tres siglos de constantes enfrentamientos armados entre "rostros palidos" y "pieles rojas".Breve Historia de los Indios norteamericanos nos descubre el mundo de las antiguas tribus de Norteamerica, cuya resistencia contra el hombre blanco fue el canto del cisne de un mundo condenado a desaparecer.
