Description
"Northeastern North America - from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic and Hudson Bay - was the home of many Indian peoples. This book is a short introduction to Indian life in the period of intense cultural change between 1600 and 1900, as colonisation followed the first contacts with European explorers. Many articles of everyday and ceremonial use from the Museum of Mankind's rich collection are illustrated, including skin clothing, hunting equipment, religious paraphernalia, as well as tomahawks and other items associated with war. Their context and use in Indian society is shown by contemporary photographs, prints and drawings." -- Back cover.
