Books in the Native Peoples of the Americas series

"The aim of this book is to introduces readers to the historic Indigenous ceremonial stone landscapes that dot the woodlands of Eastern North America, that they may be able to identify these ritual landscapes and thus help protect and preserve them for future generations"--

In this provocative book, Margaret M. Bruchac, an Indigenous anthropologist, turns the word savage on its head. This book reconceptualizes the details of encounters with Native interlocutors who by turns inspired, facilitated, and resisted the anthropological enterprise. Unlike other texts, this book highlights the intellectual contributions and cultural strategies of unsung Indigenous informants.
