Know the people as they know themselves.,
By Bison Walker "Plains woman" (High Plains) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Plains Indians, A.D. 500-1500: The Archaeological Past of Historic Groups (Hardcover)
Karl Schlesier's book is a vital work of scholarship that draws together many views of people in the Plains for many centuries. Plains Indians is a must have for anyone's private collection on human habitation of the Great Plains in the last 2000 years. Students should have access to this scholarly documentation in every library on every campus.
Rarely do archeologists recognize an ethnic identity associated with dig sites that pre-date European occupancy of the Plains. The language links charted in the book are strong indications of the ethnicities present in the Great Plains for millennia. I use this book every semester to lay the foundation for understanding the diversity of people present in the Plains for hundreds of generations. Plains Indians as edited by Dr. Karl Schlesier is outstanding and indispensable to ethnohistorical studies that recognize the ancestral lands of people living presently in the Great Plains. |
