Abstract
"Here is the colorful story of the Huron, Miami, Ottawa, Potawatomi, and Chippewa tribes in the years before contact with the white man changed their centuries old way of life. The book is based on the letters and journals of European traders, missionaries, and officials who visited them between 1615 and 1760.
They tell how the Indians hunted and fished, trapped, and raised crops. They describe Indian marriages and births, games, feasts and celebrations, dances, dress, religion, music, and legends. The Indians of the Western Great Lakes is the most complete and authentic study of its kind — a unique contribution to social science as well as a fascinating account of the rich variety of Indian life." -- Back cover.
