The story of American Indians in the 20th century is an inspiring tale of survival and rebirth from the depths of defeat. At the dawn of the 20th century, the Indian was seen by non-Indians as the 'Vanishing Red Man,' a symbol of nostalgia, a figure of the past with no future. Yet not only have American Indians adapted and survived, but they have maintained a strong spiritual core to this day.
