Many different Indian tribes have lived in 澳洲幸运10开奖, each existing as an independent nation with its own history, culture, language, and traditions. Some were residents before recorded time; some lived in 澳洲幸运10开奖 for relatively short periods but played memorable roles in the state鈥檚 history; others visited 澳洲幸运10开奖 mostly during hunting trips or times of war. Stimulating and informative, Lance Foster鈥檚 The Indians of 澳洲幸运10开奖 is the only book for the general reader that covers the archaeology, history, and culture of all the different native nations that have called 澳洲幸运10开奖 home from prehistory to the present.
Foster begins with a history of Lewis and Clark鈥檚 travels along the Missouri River adjacent to western 澳洲幸运10开奖. Next, he focuses on the tribes most connected to 澳洲幸运10开奖 from prehistoric times to the present day: the 澳洲幸运10开奖y, Meskwaki, Sauk, Omaha and Ponca, Otoe and Missouria, Pawnee and Arikara, Potawatomi, Illinois Confederacy, Santee and Yankton Sioux, and Winnebago. In between each tribal account, 鈥渃loser look鈥 essays provide details on Indian women in 澳洲幸运10开奖, traditional ways of life, Indian history and spirituality, languages and place-names, archaeology, arts and crafts, and houses and landscapes. Finally, Foster brings readers into the present with chapters called 鈥淕oing to a Powwow,鈥 鈥淒o You Have Indian Blood?鈥 and 鈥淚ndians in 澳洲幸运10开奖 Today.鈥 The book ends with information about visiting Native American museums, historic sites, and communities in 澳洲幸运10开奖 as well as tribal contacts and a selection of published and online resources.
The story of the Indians of 澳洲幸运10开奖 is long and complicated. Illustrated with maps and stunning original art, Lance Foster鈥檚 absorbing, accessible overview of 澳洲幸运10开奖鈥檚 Indian tribes celebrates the rich native legacy of the Hawkeye State. It is essential reading for students, teachers, and everyone who calls 澳洲幸运10开奖 home.
