Autor

Francis Amasa Walker (1840-1897) was an influential American economist, statistician, and public official, best known for his work on U.S. government policies and their impact on Native American communities. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Walker graduated from Dartmouth College and later became a prominent figure in both academic and public spheres. He served as the Superintendent of the U.S. Census and was known for his contributions to economic theory and statistical methodology. Walker's notable work, The Indian Question, examines the complex relationship between the U.S. government and Indigenous peoples, focusing on policies like Indian removal, land rights, and assimilation efforts. His analysis sheds light on the historical and cultural impacts of federal policies on Native American communities, offering a critical perspective on the reservation system and government decisions. Walker's work is significant for its detailed examination of the social and cultural consequences of U.S. policies, contributing to the broader understanding of Native American history and federal policy. His contributions to economics and public administration also reflect his broader impact on American intellectual and policy debates of the 19th century.
