3.0 out of 5 stars rigorous history, August 17, 2005

This review is from: Indian Women & French Men (Native Americans of the Northeast: Culture, History, & the Contemporary) (Paperback)
This is not a cute recounting of Sacajawea and her French husband. This is not Pocahontas and John Smith with a Parisian accent. You can tell that the author is a historian's historian. She is writing for an audience of scholars on Native Americans. She looks at four examples taking place in the Midwest during the 1700s and 1800s to talk of how intermarriage and miscegenation played a role in European exploration, domination, and trade. You have to be well-versed in Native American studies and Midwestern history in order to understand this text. I hope the author gets tenure because this was a truly erudite text. Unsophisticated readers, be warned!
