Native Americans in the Susquehanna River Valley, Past and Present ed. by David J. Minderhout, and: In the Shadow of Kinzua: The Seneca Nation of Indians since World War II by Laurence Marc Hauptman

Abstract

The history of Native American presence within the northeastern section of the United States is both rich and troublesome. For while the tribes who have resided in this area played an integral role in the early years of this nation, most have encountered tremendous pressures as they faced a way of life not of their choosing. Yet, the Native American story in this region is one of resilience—from weathering internal factions to responding to external resistance.
