Blood and land : the story of native North America / J.C.H. King. by King, J. C. H. (Jonathan C. H.) Allen Lane, 2016. Call #: 970.00497 K53b Subjects Indians of North America -- History.   Indians of North America -- Social conditions.   Indigenous peoples -- North America -- History.   First Nations -- History.   North America -- Civilization. ISBN:  9780241282359 (hc.) Alternate title:  Story of native North America Description:  xxvi, 645 pages : illustrations, maps ; 24 cm Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  This highly personal book, based on years of travel and first-hand research in North America, introduces a deeply complex story, of myriad identities and determined ethnicities - from the desert Southwest to the high Arctic, from first contact between Europeans and Native Americans to the challenges of Native leadership today. Instead of writing a chronological history, King confronts the reader with the paradoxes, diversity and successes of Native North Americans. Their astonishing ingenuity and supple intelligence enabled, after centuries of suffering both violence and dispossession, a striking level of recovery, optimism and autonomy in the 21st century. J.C.H. King is the von Hügel Fellow at the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Cambridge.
