John Milloy is professor in the departments of Native Studies and History, and Master of Peter Robinson College, Trent University, Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.
"[T]his intense and carefully researched study successfully avoids
the conventional view of the plains warrior... an exciting
narrative, full of battles, adventure and facts."-- "Globe and
Mail"
"During the 80-year period before they located on a Canadian
reserve, the Plains Cree underwent an amazing cycle of
technological and economic adjustment. Milloy's relatively brief
study outlines these developments in revealing fashion. Especially
noteworthy are the details of the Cree as active entrepreneurial
decision makers, always seeking to modify the world to suit Cree
terms...the book's scope sweeps across the plains, mountains, and
rivers...realistically portraying the complex experiences of the
plains peoples. This solid, scholarly contribution should be in
both undergraduate and graduate collections as well as in larger
public libraries."-- "Choice Magazine"
