The great father : a short history of the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs and American Indian policy; with some comparisons of the attitudes of Canada and the U.S. toward native people / Robert...: R32-338/1990E-PDF
"The pristine isolation - the dreamtime - for the aboriginal or native people of North America was abruptly and permanently shattered with the arrival and settlement of Europeans. From the moment of that first encounter, the native people were awakened to the cold reality that the dawn of a Christian civilization was to break upon them. The relationship between the native people and these technologically dominant newcomers has fluctuated ever since from the benign to the intolerable"--Historical background, p. 2.
