This first volume in the new Stories of the Susquehanna Valley
series describes the Native American presence in the Susquehanna
River Valley, a key crossroads of the old Eastern Woodlands between
the Great Lakes and the Chesapeake Bay in northern Appalachia.
Combining archaeology, history, cultural anthropology, and the
study of contemporary Native American issues, contributors describe
what is known about the Native Americans from their earliest known
presence in the valley to the contact era with Europeans. They also
explore the subsequent consequences of that contact for Native
peoples, including the removal, forced or voluntary, of many from
the valley, in what became a chilling prototype for attempted
genocide across the continent. Euro-American history asserted that
there were no native people left in Pennsylvania (the center of the
Susquehanna watershed) after the American Revolution. But with
revived Native American cultural consciousness in the late
twentieth century, Pennsylvanians of native ancestry began to take
pride in and reclaim their heritage. This book also tells their
stories, including efforts to revive Native cultures in the
watershed, and Native perspectives on its ecological restoration.
While focused on the Susquehanna River Valley, this collection also
discusses topics of national significance for Native Americans and
those interested in their cultures.
