A Companion to American Indian History

by Philip J. Deloria (Editor), Neal Salisbury (Editor)

A Companion to American Indian History captures the thematic breadth of Native American history over the last forty years. Twenty-five original essays by leading scholars in the field, both American Indian and non-American Indian, bring an exciting modern perspective to Native American histories that were at one time related exclusively by Euro-American settlers.

Reviews

[Michelle Boyer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Perfect overview and beginning research for those interested in American Indian history. If you want to understand dynamics of American Indian communities you need to begin here. Blackwell Companion books have always been a nerdy thrill of mine, but this one is amazing.

Varied literature review on topics relating to the histories of indigenous peoples in North America (present day United States, Canada, and some discussion of Mexico). A good springboard for future research.
