Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

In recent years, interest in early American Indian history and an emphasis on ethnohistorical methods have led to new approaches to the study of cultural contact in colonial America.

From their intermediate position between European and Iroquois cultures, these men and women interpreted more than languages.
