The Unheard Voices: American Indian Responses to the Columbian Quincentenary 1492–1992

1992 Conference Proceedings. Edited by Carole M. Gentry and Donald A. Grinde, Jr., 1994.
 
A group of American Indian and non-Indian scholars gathered at the University of California, Los Angeles in the fall of 1992 to examine and elucidate the Columbian experience from a variety of perspectives. What emerged from the conference was a group of essays that attempted to encapsulate the unheard voices and issues that serious scholars of American Indian people deemed important. Taken as a whole, the essays explore the myriad aspects of the Columbian encounter from a variety of disciplinary and attitudinal viewpoints.
