Though they speak several different languages and organize themselves into many distinct tribes, the Native American peoples of the Southeast share a complex ancient culture and a tumultuous history. This volume examines and synthesizes their history through each of its integral phases: the complex and elaborate societies that emerged and flourished in the Pre-Columbian period, the triple curse of disease, economic dependency, and political instability brought by the European invasion, the role of Native Americans in the inter-colonial struggles for control of the region, the removal of the "Five Civilized Tribes" to Oklahoma, the challenges and adaptations of the post-removal period, and the creativity and persistence of those who remained in the Southeast.
