“Excellent for advanced Indian studies courses. Highly recommended.”--Choice "Edmunds has compiled an important synthesis of significant historical themes."--Kansas History “A major contribution to the literature on the history of native peoples of the Midwest.”--Annals of Iowa“A solid and needed addition to the historiography of Native peoples in the Great Lakes region.”--Western Historical Quarterly "A collection of some of the best scholarship on a region that has long had its own identity and Indian history. This collection illuminates and underscores the special quality and distinctive issues that characterize the Native American heartland."--Frederick E. Hoxie, coeditor of Lewis and Clark and the Indian Country: The Native American Perspective "An exceptional volume, Enduring Nations gives form and substance to Indian-white relations in the Midwest in the absence of a single monograph or synthesis on the subject. This collection provides easy access to significant issues and themes and will be widely adopted for classroom use."--R. Douglas Hurt, author of The Indian Frontier, 1763-1846
