{"product_id":"native-southerners-indigenous-history-from-origins-to-removal-9780806162287","title":"Native Southerners: Indigenous History from Origins to Removal","description":"\u003cbr\u003e Long before the indigenous people of southeastern North America first encountered Europeans and Africans, they established communities with clear social and political hierarchies and rich cultural traditions. Award-winning historian Gregory D. Smithers brings this world to life in \u003ci\u003eNative Southerners\u003c\/i\u003e, a sweeping narrative of American Indian history in the Southeast from the time before European colonialism to the Trail of Tears and beyond. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the Native South, as in much of North America, storytelling is key to an understanding of origins and tradition--and the stories of the indigenous people of the Southeast are central to \u003ci\u003eNative Southerners\u003c\/i\u003e. Spanning territory reaching from modern-day Louisiana and Arkansas to the Atlantic coast, and from present-day Tennessee and Kentucky through Florida, this book gives voice to the lived history of such well-known polities as the Cherokees, Creeks, Seminoles, Chickasaws, and Choctaws, as well as smaller Native communities like the Nottoway, Occaneechi, Haliwa-Saponi, Catawba, Biloxi-Chitimacha, Natchez, Caddo, and many others. From the oral and cultural traditions of these Native peoples, as well as the written archives of European colonists and their Native counterparts, Smithers constructs a vibrant history of the societies, cultures, and peoples that made and remade the Native South in the centuries before the American Civil War. What emerges is a complex picture of how Native Southerners understood themselves and their world--a portrayal linking community and politics, warfare and kinship, migration, adaptation, and ecological stewardship--and how this worldview shaped and was shaped by their experience both before and after the arrival of Europeans. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As nuanced in detail as it is sweeping in scope, the narrative Smithers constructs is a testament to the storytelling and the living history that have informed the identities of Native Southerners to our day. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-12075022\"\u003eGregory D.
