The Children of Aataentsic: A History of the Huron People to 1660, Volume 2"The Children of Aataentsic is both a full-scale ethnohistory of the Huron Indian confederacy and a far-reaching study of the causes of its collapse under the impact of the Iroquois attacks of 1649. It draws upon the archaeological context, the ethnography presented by early explorers and missionaries, and the recorded history of contact with Europeans. These sources enable the author to trace the development of the Huron people from the earliest hunting and gathering economies in southern Ontario many centuries before the arrival of the Europeans to their key role in the fur trade in eastern Canada during the first half of the seventeenth century."--Book jacket. |
