Who were the first settlers in North America? Where did they come
from? How did they survive? In this expansive one-volume account of
the native peoples of North America, eminent historian William
Brandon-who devoted much of his life to examining this
subject-presents this revelatory history of the development and
culture of the native peoples of North America, from their
incipience through the late nineteenth century. From the Valley of
Mexico to the Bering Straight, a multitude of diverse cultures
settled and created art, healing medicines, and an agriculture that
brought us maize, potatoes, chilies, avocado, and tobacco. Among
those from central America were the art-obsessed Mayans and Olmecs;
from North America came the Ojibwa, Powhatan, Cree, Illinois,
Apache, Cherokee, Natchez, Sioux, and many others. In The Rise and
Fall of North America's Indians, Brandon brings this world to life
and chronicles 10,000 years of Indian history.
