A Century of Dishonor A Sketch of the United States Government's Dealings with Some of the Indian Tribes
"A Century of Dishonor" by Helen Hunt Jackson is a non-fiction book published in 1881 that chronicles the United States government's mistreatment of Native Americans. Inspired by Standing Bear's testimony about forced removal, Jackson documented systematic injustices through tribal histories, broken treaties, and massacres. She sent copies to every member of Congress at her own expense, hoping to awaken America's conscience to what she called "a century of dishonor" and spur meaningful reform of federal Indian policy.
