Description
They are still the forgotten people of America, their victories little noticed, their problems overshadowed by the larger groups around them. But the Native American tribes of the South and the East are writing new chapters in their people's history, and in that history every tribe is different. Each has its own story, its own intermingling of triumph and struggle and difficult problems that remain to be solved. This book is a collection of these stories, a record of a great coming together, ancient enemies who are finding common ground. The Cherokees, Catawbas, Choctaws, Creeks, Narragansetts, Wampanoags, Seminoles, Oneidas, Mohawks, Penobscots, Tuscaroras, Pequots, Coushatas, Pamunkeys, Chippewas, and Tunica-Biloxi are just some of the tribes whose histories, current status, and future aspirations are covered in As Long As the Waters Flow.
