About the contributors
Reviews
-
[A] richly detailed, well-documented survey that includes descriptions of the environment in which the Indians lived; their family, village, and tribal structures; native spiritual beliefs; and Indian warfare; as well as an examination of the changes brought by contact, trade, and warfare with Europeans. . . . The book's attention to detail, strong analysis, and limited focus will reward researchers with a wealth of information.
