By following key families in Cherokee, Chickasaw, and Anglo-American societies from the Seven Years' War to 1845, this study illustrates how kinship networks - forged out of natal, marital, or fictive kinship relationships - enabled and directed the actions of their members as they decided the futures of their nations.

Focuses on a late eighteenth-century conflict between Creek Indians and Georgians. The conflict was marked by years of seemingly random theft and violence culminating in open war along the Oconee River. Joshua Haynes argues that the period should be viewed as the struggle of non-state indigenous people to develop a method of resisting colonization.
