In People of the Ecotone, Robert Morrissey weaves together a
history of Native peoples with a history of an ecotone to tell a
new story about the roots of the Fox Wars, among the most
transformative and misunderstood events of early American history.
To do this, he also offers the first comprehensive environmental
history of some of North America’s most radically transformed
landscapes—the former tallgrass prairies—in the period before
they became the monocultural “corn belt” we know today.
Morrissey situates the complex rise and fall of the Illinois,
Meskwaki, and Myaamia peoples from roughly the collapse of Cahokia
(thirteenth to fourteenth century CE) to the mid-eighteenth century
in the context of millennia-long environmental shifts, as changes
to the climate shifted bison geographies and tribes adapted their
cultures to become pedestrian bison hunters. Tracing dynamic chains
of causation from microscopic viruses to massive forces of climate,
from the deep time of evolution to the specific events of human
lifetimes, from local Illinois village economies to market forces
an ocean away, People of the Ecotone offers new insight on
Indigenous power and Indigenous logics.
