Indians appear at the time of contact, are involved in fighting or treaties, and so seem to vanish, usually onto reservations. In Native Seattle, Coll Thrush explodes the ordinarily accustomed notion that Indians and cities-and thus Indian and urban histories-are mutually sectional, that Indians and cities cannot coexist, and that one must necessarily be eclipsed by the other.
