Описание книги

Diverse in their languages and customs, the Native American peoples of the Great Lakes region—the Miamis, Ho-Chunks, Potawatomis, Ojibwas, and many others—shared a tumultuous history. In the colonial era their rich homeland became a target of imperial ambition and an invasion zone for European diseases, technologies, beliefs, and colonists. Yet in the face of these challenges, their nations’ strong bonds of trade, intermarriage, and association grew and extended throughout their watery domain, and strategic relationships and choices allowed them to survive in an era of war, epidemic, and invasion. In Peoples of the Inland Sea, David Andrew Nichols offers a fresh and boundary-crossing history of the Lakes peoples over nearly three centuries of rapid change, from pre-Columbian times through the era of Andrew Jackson’s Removal program. As the people themselves persisted, so did their customs, religions, and control over their destinies, even in the Removal era. In Nichols’s hands, Native, French, American, and English sources combine to tell this important story in a way as imaginative as it is bold. Accessible and creative, Peoples of the Inland Sea is destined to become a classroom staple and a classic in Native American history.

While defining my terms, I should note that Native American nomenclature is often a thorny subject, since Indians’ self-labels (or eponyms) often differ from the national names that their indigenous neighbors or European explorers gave them. Generally, I have employed the ethnic names most commonly found in anglophone records, as a courtesy to readers wishing to conduct more research in specific Indian peoples’ histories. Naturally, there are exceptions and qualifications to this rule. I employ the term “Ohio Iroquois” in referring to the so-called Mingoes, who received their derisive common name from the Six Nations Iroquois. The Ho-Chunks would not have appreciated the defamatory moniker that Anglo-Americans gave them, “Winnebago,” so I do not use it here. When referring to more than one of the Three Fires peoples, I use the name “Anishinaabe” (plural “Anishinaabeg”) and employ the modern spelling “Odawa” for the nation that Anglo-Americans spelled “Ottawa.” For the Indians of the Illinois confederacy, I generally use the plural form “Illiniwek” and the singular adjective “Illini.” American treaties generally use “Sac” and “Fox” to refer to the two interrelated nations that I spell “Sauk” and either “Fox” or “Mesquakie.”10

“Native American” and “American Indian” are not names that Indians used for themselves before the nineteenth century, although because one of the first pan-Indian movements on the continent originated in the Lakes country, I found it appropriate to use both labels here. In accordance with modern usage, I have reserved the unmodified term “American” for the citizens, generally white, of the republican empire that fought, traded with, and ultimately displaced so many Native Americans. As part of their larger nation-building project, Revolutionary and Jacksonian-era Americans took for themselves a national label that properly belonged to Indians, thereby engaging in a kind of discursive removal of indigenous Americans. This book cannot easily offer redress for this expropriation, but I hope that my readers will not take it for granted.11
