Melde dich bei LibraryThing an um herauszufinden, ob du dieses Buch mögen würdest. Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. This completes the Osprey series on Native American cultures. As always, the plates are interesting, and the snippets of information are useful, but too brief to provide much more than a general overview--which means that many of the premises enumerated are questionable in their accuracy--except in a most general way. I am not impressed with the author's sources. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The Indian tribes of the Pacific Northwest, both on the Coast and the inland Plateau, were the last to encounter white traders and settlers. When contact occured in the late 18th century the explorers and traders found two distinct cultures. The fairly recent adoption of the horse had opened the Plateau tribes to influences from the peoples of the Plains; but the tribes of the Coast presented a sharply different picture, involving rigid class hierarchies, an economy based on fishing andhunting marine animals, and frequent intertribal warfare which involved slave raiding and head hunting. This fascinating text describes the ways of life, in peace and war, of the coastal and inland peoples of this region. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
