American Indian peoples live and have lived for millennia throughout the Americas. Many people think of Indians solely in the past tense, as part of history. While these groups have a long and interesting history, their contributions to American society have continued through the 20th century and into the 21st century.
Northeast Indians documents the lives of the people of this area, from Stone Age hunters and early Woodland Indians to the Northeast Indians of today. Coverage includes the Columbian Exchange, Pontiac's Rebellion, the Black Hawk War, quill work, maple sugaring, urban Indians, Mohawk skywalkers, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, casinos, and much more. This essential volume provides students with useful information on these Native American groups.
Maps help illustrate the geography and important places of the culture area. Photographs and illustrations depict the people, animals, places, and events that were and are an essential part of the Northeast. Back matter includes a time line, a list of museums and sites, a further reading list, and an index.
