Native Americans of New England provides the first comprehensive, region-wide, long-term, and accessible study of Native Americans in New England.
This work is a comprehensive and region-wide synthesis of the history of the indigenous peoples of the northeastern corner of what is now the United States―New England―which includes the states of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
Native Americans of New England takes view of the history of indigenous peoples of the region, reconstructing this past from the earliest available archeological evidence to the present. It examines how historic processes shaped and reshaped the lives of Native peoples and uses case studies, historic sketches, and biographies to tell these stories. While this volume is aware of the impact that colonization, ethnic cleansing, dispossession, and racism had on the lives of indigenous peoples in New England, it also focuses on Native American resistance, adaptation, and survival under often harsh and unfavorable circumstances.
Christoph Strobel is an author and Professor of History at the University of Massachusetts Lowell.
