"My students loved it. This work reveals both the outline and the
intricacies of Native American culture as a lived experience,
giving all of us, teachers and students, a sense of the distance
between their culture and our own, but also an encounter with the
humanity of many peoples who were in a variety of ways not that
different from us. This is a wonderful book, one that I will use
for many years to come."--Jacquelyn C. Miller, Rutgers
University
"Students love reading the excerpts and they allow them to gain an
insight into Indian cultures in ways other readings do
not."--Elizabeth Mancke, Western Washington University
"Excellent....The documents are useful in that they allow students
to work with primary material."--George H. Phillips, University of
Colorado
"One of the finest sourcebooks on the early ethnohistory of Native
North America currently available. James Axtell...has made a
significant contribution to the study of eastern woodland peoples.
Students, specialists, and the general reading public will all find
this book both accessible and stimulating."--Robert Steven Grumet,
American Indian Quarterly
"A skillful edition of wisely selected sources. An excellent
introduction to the range and vitality of American Indian
culture."--Alden T. Vaughan, Columbia University
"Very worthwhile. The Indian becomes human in these
essays."--Calvin Martin, Rutgers University
