Description

A remarkable multifaceted history| “Contested Territories “examines a region that played an essential role in America’s post-revolutionary expansion–the Lower Great Lakes region| once known as the Northwest Territory. As French| English| and finally American settlers moved westward and intersected with Native American communities| the ethnogeography of the region changed drastically| necessitating interactions that were not always peaceful. Using ethnohistorical methodologies| the seven essays presented here explore rapidly changing cultural dynamics in the region and reconstruct in engaging detail the political organization| economy| diplomacy| subsistence methods| religion| and kinship practices in play. With a focus on resistance| changing worldviews| and early forms of self-determination among Native Americans| “Contested Territories “demonstrates the continuous interplay between actor and agency during an important era in American history.
