Prehistoric North Americans lived on, in, and surrounded by nature.
As a result, everything they were resulted from this co-existence.
From interpersonal relations to supernatural beliefs, from housing
size and function to the food they ate and clothing they wore, the
life of Native Americans before the arrival of Europeans was
intimately intertwined with the environment. What is known about
these societies is often sketchy at best, having survived largely
through archaeological remains and oral tradition. Scholars have
tried to understand Native American history on its own terms,
trying to understand who and what they were in reality - a complex,
diverse multitude of populations that defined themselves entirely
through what they saw, heard, and experienced everyday - their
natural environment. Nature and the Environment in Pre-Columbian
American Life provides an overview of all aspects of how native
peoples interacted with the environment: How did prehistoric North
Americans use their knowledge of the environment to hunt and gather
for food, or raise crops? What was the interaction between humans
and animals? How did Native Americans find entertainment and
leisure in their environments? How and where did people live in
conjunction with and often in spite of the elements? This
accessible resource provides an excellent introduction for those
needing a first step to researching the daily lives of Native
Americans in the centuries before the arrival of Europeans.
