(Joseph Kossuth) 1856 1926 Dixon, Joseph Kossuth 13024815 The Vanishing Race: The Last Great Indian Council "The Vanishing Race: The Last Great Indian Council" by Joseph K. Dixon is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work offers a poignant portrayal of the final assembly of significant Indian chiefs from across the United States, capturing their speeches, folklore, and reflections on their lives and histories. It engages with themes of loss, identity, and endurance, highlighting the cultural richness of the Indigenous peoples who faced the devastation of their way of life. At the start of the narrative, the author sets the stage for the last great Indian council held in 1909, where thirty-two Indian chiefs gathered in Montana. The text emphasizes the significance of this gathering as a profound moment of reflection and farewell, where the chiefs share their stories and experiences, including their memories tied to events like the Custer fight. The opening sections evoke a deep sense of nostalgia for a vanishing culture amidst the backdrop of the encroachment of "civilization," inviting readers to ponder the impact of history on Indigenous identities and the need for preservation of their rich heritage.
