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.
