"This delightful book reads more like a memoir than an ethnographic history, but it is filled with great ethnographic and historical perspectives. Demonstrated in the text is a sense of humility—in essence, Wallace writing candidly about being corrected by community members, including his hosts … overall Wallace adds to the growing aggregate of Haudenosaunee cultural and historical books … Highly recommended." — CHOICE"…an accessible, insightful, and challenging work that embodies the self-aware, self-critical thinking that now characterizes the discipline of anthropology … Tuscarora: A History is free of illusions, worshipfulness, pity. It's an exercise in, and an exemplar of, 'the good mind.'" — Artvoice
