Indian Tribes of the New England Frontier

Informationen zum Autor Michael Johnson researched the material culture, demography and linguistic relationships of Native American people for more than 50 years. A collector of data, photographs and artefacts, he presented many exhibitions, visited some 30 Native American communities and reservations, and authored numerous books and articles. Klappentext This book offers a detailed introduction to the tribes of the New England region - the first native American peoples affected by contact with the French and English colonists. By 1700 several tribes had already been virtually destroyed, and many others were soon reduced and driven from their lands by disease, war or treachery. The tribes were also drawn into the savage frontier wars between the French and the British. The final defeat of French Canada and the subsequent unchecked expansion of the British colonies resulted in the virtual extinction of the region's Indian culture, which is only now being revived by small descendant communities. Zusammenfassung The first Native Americans who came into contact with the 17th century English settlers were the tribes of the North Atlantic coast and the interior of New England. Featuring colour illustrations and photographs, this book tells the story of New England's Native Americans.
