McDonnell reveals the pivotal role played by the native peoples of the Great Lakes in the history of North America. Though less well known than the Iroquois or Sioux, the Anishinaabeg, who lived across Lakes Michigan and Huron, were equally influential. Masters of Empire charts the story of one group, the Odawa, who settled at the straits between those two lakes, a hub for trade and diplomacy throughout the vast country west of Montreal known as the pays d'en haut. Highlighting the long-standing rivalries and relationships among the great Indian nations of North America, McDonnell shows how Europeans often played only a minor role in this history, and reminds us that it was native peoples who possessed intricate and far-reaching networks of commerce and kinship, of which the French and British knew little. As empire encroached upon their domain, the Anishinaabeg were often the ones doing the exploiting. By dictating terms at trading posts and frontier forts, they played a crucial part in the making of early America. Through vivid depictions--all from a native perspective--of early skirmishes, the French and Indian War, and the American Revolution, Masters of Empire overturns our assumptions about colonial America. By calling attention to the Great Lakes as a crucible of culture and conflict, McDonnell reimagines the landscape of American history"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000745119 650_0 $$aOttawa Indians$$zHuron, Lake, Region (Mich. and Ont.)$$xHistory. 000745119 650_0 $$aIndians of North America$$xFirst contact with Europeans. 000745119 651_0 $$aHuron, Lake, Region (Mich. and Ont.)$$xHistory. 000745119 651_0 $$aGreat Lakes Region (North America)$$xHistory. 000745119 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xHistory$$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775. 000745119 85200 $$bgen$$hE99.O9$$iM36$$i2015 000745119 85642 $$3Cover image$$uhttp://www.netread.com/jcusers2/bk1388/532/9780809029532/image/lgcover.9780809029532.jpg 000745119 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:745119$$pGLOBAL_SET 000745119 980__ $$aBIB 000745119 980__ $$aBOOK
