Writing from the Indian point of view is a central concern to
historians today. Not only are new sources needed to understand
native peoples, but new questions must be asked--questions based in
a deep knowledge of the languages and cultures of Native Americans.
The seven essays in this volume present innovative approaches to
revising Indian history and understanding native peoples on their
own terms.
In this book seven leading scholars address the complex
challenges of understanding over 500 Indian tribes as they see
themselves. In addition to general discussions of historiography,
the contributors address such issues as writing the history of
native women, understanding Indian people's relationship to the
natural world, and conveying the role of native oral traditions.
The contributors are James Axtell, William T. Hagan, Glenda Riley,
Theda Purdue, Richard White, Angela Cavender Wilson, and the volume
editor, Donald Fixico.
