AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This monograph presents a detailed account of Fox history from the late pre-contact period through to the middle of the 18th century with particular emphasis on a description and analysis of the events surrounding the tribe's conflict with New France, which had attempted to commit genocide of the Fox population. Relations with other tribal groups in the region are also discussed. This document also contains much information on Fox migrations within the Upper Mississippi Valley and Great Lakes region during the period specified, and the ferocity of warfare between combating groups. Although much of the information contained in this study is obtained from French documents, where possible, the authors have tried to incorporate Fox (Mesquakie) oral traditions and to present these events from the standpoint of the Fox Indians.
