Reviews

This collection, which covers a greater diversity of tribes than most studies of [the sSoutheast], will be an asset to specialists, students, and those with a general interest in southern studies. Its presentation of storytelling with scholarly context is especially valuable. -Lindsey Claire Smith, editor of American Indian Quarterly -- Lindsey Claire Smith This book is a pleasure to read. The strong aesthetic appeal of southeastern Native narrative is apparent in the contributors' fine renderings of the tales, and their commentaries show the importance of the stories in the lives and expectations of southeastern narrators and audiences past and present. -Margaret Holmes Williamson, author of Powhatan Lords of Life and Death: Command and Consent in Seventeenth-Century Virginia -- Margaret Holmes Williamson
