Compare This Land Was Theirs by Wendell H. Oswalt, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Designed for undergraduate courses in Native North Americans, the text surveys both traditional and contemporary Indian lifeways. Oswalt looks at 12 North American Indian tribes, ranging from the Netsilik hunters of the Arctic Circle to the Natchez farmers of the Mississippi. These groupsrepresent the major culture areas and levels of socioeconomic complexity among North American Indians. After introductory chapters devoted to pan-tribal issues, the author traces each tribe's story, from aboriginal life through historical changes to its current place among the native nations. | This Land Was Theirs by Wendell H.
