There's a Guardian blog article on Native American history. It doesn't touch on literature too much, but the article writer does say:

The best book I've read thus far is James Mooney's The Ghost Dance Religion and Wounded Knee, an account of his investigation into the causes of the massacre at Wounded Knee on December 29 1890. The book, written not long after the events described, describes how the federal government sent in 3,000 troops and half its cavalry forces to quell an outbreak of dancing among the Sioux, killing 300 unarmed men, women and children while they were at it.
