Warfare : a cultural component of native North America

Abstract

The culture areas of North America which existed to the east of the Rocky Mountains, participated in various strategies of war. This thesis describes the predominant strategies of the eastern Indians as well as those who inhabited the Plains. This survey investigates the significance of economic and social motives of war as well as warrior training and the connection of the warrior to the supernatural. The investigation of this crucial component of Native North American culture will help to improve our understanding of these peoples.
