Abstract
"With colorful detail of the environments of a variety of North American Indians in the 17th and 18th centuries and quotes from native informants' views of their lives, this novel approach toward an understanding of native North American cultures presents in-depth descriptions of ten economically and socially diverse populations. Aboriginal societies are compared and discussed using ecological theory and historical events to explain similarities and differences. This volume will help readers comprehend the vast diversity among native North Americans."--Back cover.
