Written for students and general readers, it covers in detail the ways that native communities have striven to shape and maintain their traditions in the face of enormous external pressures.\u003cbr\u003e The author, Robert E. Bieder, begins by describing the Wisconsin region in the 1600s--both the natural environment, with its profound significance for Native American peoples, and the territories of the many tribal cultures throughout the region--and then surveys experiences with French, British, and, finally, American contact. Using native legends and historical and ethnological sources, Bieder describes how the Wisconsin communities adapted first to the influx of Indian groups fleeing the expanding Iroquois Confederacy in eastern America and then to the arrival of fur traders, lumber men, and farmers. Economic shifts and general social forces, he shows, brought about massive adjustments in diet, settlement patterns, politics, and religion, leading to a redefinition of native tradition.\u003cbr\u003e Historical photographs and maps illustrate the text, and an extensive bibliography has many suggestions for further reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert E.
