Native America, Discovered and Conquered takes a fresh look at American history through the lens of the Doctrine of Discovery--the legal basis that Europeans and Americans used to lay claim to the land of the indigenous peoples they "discovered." Robert J. Miller illustrates how the American colonies used the Doctrine of Discovery against the Indian nations from 1606 forward. Thomas Jefferson used the doctrine to exert American authority in the Louisiana Territory, to win the Pacific Northwest from European rivals, and to "conquer" the Indian nations. In the broader sense, these efforts began with the Founding Fathers and with Thomas Jefferson's Corps of Discovery, and eventually the Doctrine of Discovery became part of American law, as it still is today. Miller shows how Manifest Destiny grew directly out of the legal elements and policies of the Doctrine of Discovery and how Native peoples, whose rights stood in the way of this destiny, were "discovered" and then "conquered." Miller's analysis of the principles of discovery brings a new perspective and valuable insights to the study of Jefferson, Lewis and Clark, the Louisiana Purchase, the Pacific Northwest, American expansionism, and U.S. Indian policy. This Bison Books edition includes a new afterword by the author.

An Elegant and Secure Solution for Remote Control Storage
Color: Red
One of the first aspects I noticed was the impeccable fit of the case. It cradles the remote with precision, ensuring a snug and secure hold. This tight fit protects the remote from accidental drops and minimizes the risk of misplacement—a common concern in busy households or shared spaces. The peace of mind this provides is genuinely appreciable. The case's construction is made of lightweight and durable material. Despite its slim profile, it offers reliable protection against daily wear and tear, keeping the remote pristine. This balance between portability and sturdiness is a testament to the quality of its design. Another thoughtful feature is the minimalist aesthetics. The case seamlessly complements the Apple TV remote’s sleek design, blending harmoniously with modern decor. It’s a small yet impactful detail that enhances the overall visual appeal of my entertainment area. Moreover, the case is straightforward to install and remove. This user-friendly approach ensures I can switch between setups or clean the remote with minimal hassle—a convenience that should not be overlooked.

Perfect remote case!
Color: Red
100% worth every penny for this! Apple seemingly makes their remotes from sheets of aluminum foil, if you fart to close to one, the wind will dent them. That being said- This case solves that. The fit and finish is apple quality (the quality of their other products, not the remote made of play doh), it doesn’t add much bulk, easy to use and snaps right in place, and has an almost soft feel with some grip so it won’t slide off the arm of a couch or recliner. The red band of color is great for making it stick out and easier to find as well. 10/10 would recommend!

Exceeded expectations.
Color: Blue
This simple yet effective case covers the back with a clear plastic window and fully encases the remote's edges. My kids dropped the old remote far too many times, and being made of aluminum, it dented and the IR piece in the front broke. I even bought a new remote, BUT, once I put this case on the old one (gluing the IR window back on), I discovered I no longer need the new remote, as this will last a long long time. I wish I had bought this from the start. Why didn't I? because I thought it would make it bulkier. Sure it's a little wider, but feels pretty good in the hand, and the weight difference is negligible.
