Reports of Indian life before the distortions of European colonialismBy Doctor.GenerosityThese are early reports of contacts with northeast Native American tribes during the very first recorded encounters with Europeans. Fascinating with regard to Indian tribal culture; foods; practices before the white invasion seriously altered their way of life and eye opening in many ways. On one hand; European writers often observed how healthy and beautiful the natives looked. On the other hand; the reports of Indian intertribal warfare practices almost always included torturing prisoners to death in the most horrendous ways. Overall; brings home the tragedy of the genocide of an entire population.27 of 28 people found the following review helpful. Excellent and Interesting View of Colonial Native AmericansBy Joe OwenWhat an excellent book! The editor deserves much praise due to the fact of the excellent editing and focusing on interesting observations of the North East Native Americans by early settlers and explorers of North America. From the first recorded encounter by the Dutch; English and French to later observations by settlers and villagers each observation of various Indian Tribes (Huron; Mohawk; Alganquin; etc) is described in an interesting and easy to read prose; no doubt due to the excellent editing by the editor Ronald Dale Karr.It is excellent that a book finally describes observations of Native Americans and their way of life in the Northeast by explorers and settlers. At first very friendly relations between the two cultures (Europeans and Native Americans) flourished; but unfortunately the greed and exploitation of the Native Americans sealed their fate in the Northeast and eventually spread west and south to all Native American Tribes.This is a book that vividly describes the customs; clothing; ceremonies; and types of food the Northeast Indians had during Colonial America and I learned alot more and wish that they were still here is the U.S. so we could respect and learn from them and ultimately ourselves.Highly Recommended reading to all U.S. History/Native American Historians.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
