"Times Are Altered with Us": American Indians from Contact to the New Republic offers a concise and engaging introduction to the turbulent 300-year-period of the history of Native Americans and their interactions with Europeans—and then Americans—from 1492 to 1800.

  • Considers the interactions of American Indians at many points of "First Contact" across North America, from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific and Atlantic Coasts
  • Explores the early years of contact, trade, reciprocity, and colonization, from initial engagement of different Indian and European peoples—Spanish, French, Dutch, English, and Russian—up to the start of tenuous and stormy relations with the new American government
  • Charts the rapid decline in American Indian populations due to factors including epidemic Old World diseases, genocide and warfare by explorers and colonists, tribal warfare, and the detrimental effects of resource ruination and displacement from traditional lands
  • Features a completely up-to-date synthesis of the literature of the field
  • Incorporates useful student features, including maps, illustrations, and a comprehensive and evaluative Bibliographical Essay
  • Written in an engaging style by an expert in Native American history and designed for use in both the U.S. history survey as well as dedicated courses in Native American studies

List of Illustrations

Chapter 01

Figure 1.1 A highly romanticized depiction of Cristóbal Colón’s landing on Hispaniola. Native people greet him with what appear to be gold and gems. Spanish sailors erect a cross in the background, carrying out the first of numerous “ceremonies of possession” that Europeans would perform over the next two centuries. This illustration also highlights one of the key differences that Colón noted in his writings. He and his fellow Spaniards are fully clothed, while the Indians are almost naked. “El Almirante Christoval Colon descubre la Isla Española” by Pieter Balthazar Bouttats.

Map 1.1 Major geographic regions of North America

Chapter 02

Map 2.1 Invasions of North America

Figure 2.1 A benign image of Spanish colonization. A Franciscan missionary and a Spanish soldier look over an Indian child. In reality, Spanish missionaries exploited native people for their labor, while the presence of soldiers in nearby presidios (forts) served to intimidate native people, discouraging resistance. Detail from

Amplissimae regionis Mississipi…

, Nuremberg, 1730.

Map 2.2 Pueblo Revolt

Chapter 03

Map 3.1 Native people and the French

Figure 3.1 Native hunters and European fishermen. Many of the earliest interactions between Native Americans and Europeans took place in coastal regions in Canada and New England. Native people swapped animal pelts in exchange for items such as fishhooks and knives. Detail from

France occidentale dans l’Amérique Septentrional ou le cours de la rivière de St. Laurens

, Paris, 1718.

Chapter 04

Figure 4.1 A Virginia Indian. This image appears to be loosely based on illustrations by English artist John White, who painted some of the first images of native people from life. Detail from

Nova Virginiae tabula

, Amsterdam, 1633.

Figure 4.2 A Susquehannock Village. The European artist was apparently unfamiliar with North America, placing what appears to be a coconut tree in this scene. While native people would not have been unfamiliar with European livestock by this time, they were not herding the animals, as is indicated in the lower right-hand portion of this image. Detail from

New map of the north parts of America

, London, 1720.

Figure 4.3 Natives and English traders. North America, its peoples and animals are portrayed as exotic in this illustration. The viewer also gets the impression that native people regarded English goods as exotic. While Native Americans may not have thought of European goods as exotic, within the space of a generation or two, they regarded woolen cloth and metal goods as necessities. Detail from

Virginia, Marylandia et Carolina in America Septentrionali

, London, 1714.

Chapter 05

Map 5.1 Metacom’s Rebellion

Figure 5.1 Colonists clash with Indians during Metacom’s Rebellion. Detail from

A Mapp of New England

, London, 1675.

Chapter 06

Figure 6.1 A native hunter prepares to club a beaver. In this case, the artist gave the native a beard. Note the size of the beaver in comparison to the hunter; that is an extraordinarily large animal. Detail from

France occidentale dans l’Amérique Septentrional ou le cours de la rivière de St. Laurens

, Paris, 1718.

Map 6.1 The Iroquois Wars, 1641–1701

Figure 6.2 Huron Warrior with a musket and wearing wooden armor. Despite being rendered largely ineffective by European technology, native warriors occasionally wore wooden armor in battle well into the seventeenth century. Detail from

Partie orientale du Canada

, Paris, 1689.

Chapter 08

Figure 8.1 Canadian natives with French soldiers. Because few French immigrated to the Americas, they cultivated Native Americans as trade partners and military allies. Detail from

France occidentale dans l’Amérique Septentrional ou le cours de la rivière de St. Laurens

, Paris, 1718.

Chapter 09

Map 9.1 Pontiac’s Rebellion

Figure 9.1 The Indians giving a talk to Colonel Bouquet in a conference at a council fire near his camp on the banks of the Muskingum River in North America, in October 1764. In this illustration, Colonel Bouquet negotiates with native leaders. Note that each culture has their own way of recording the proceedings. The Indian speaker has a wampum belt (used as a mnemonic device) while a scribe records the speech in writing. From

An historical account of the expedition against the Ohio Indians…

, Philadelphia, 1766.

Chapter 10

Figure 10.1 Native Americans, a rather benign (and Europeanized) bison, and other “exotic” animals. In this illustration, the artist has given the two natives European features, and the bison looks also like a domesticated cow. Also note the opossum above the bison. Both the bison and the opossum were unknown in Europe and regarded as natural curiosities. European explorers often referred to Bison as “cows,” so European artists, who had never seen one of the animals, quite naturally portrayed them as something similar to a cow. Detail from

Amplissimae regionis Mississipi…

, Nuremberg, 1730.
