About This Book

A detailed ethnographic account of Indigenous nations that once inhabited the mid-Atlantic frontier, compiling oral traditions, historical narratives, and firsthand observations to describe social organization, belief systems, ceremonies, councils, laws, family and kinship structures, subsistence and material culture, and patterns of migration and conflict. The text interweaves descriptive chapters with recorded accounts of councils, treaties, and origin stories to show how customs, rituals, and intertribal relations shaped community life and responses to European encroachment.
