Plate 1. Carved Bone pendants were attached to skin burial bags or hung on clothing. The Beothuks By Ralph T. Pastore Archaeology Unit, Memorial University of Newfoundland. Revised edition, Fall 1991 [Originally published in printed form.] It is now possible to trace the prehistoric ancestors of the historically-known Beothuks back to a people who produced stone tools assigned to what archaeologists call the Beaches Complex (dated to ca. 1000 B.P.) and the Little Passage Complex which succeeded it and lasted until the arrival of Europeans. In fact, there is a relatively smooth transition in the styles of stone tools produced by the Little Passage people and the Beothuks. With European contact the island's inhabitants began to acquire iron tools, and the practise is refer to these people as Beothuks. The Beothuks appear to have spoken a variant of the Algonkian family of languages, and it is possible that the modern language closest to Beothuk is that spoken by the Innu (Naskapi- Montagnais) of Quebec-Labrador. In fact, the Beothuks were simply one end of a continuum of peoples that extended from the island of Newfoundland to the northern portion of the Quebec-Labrador Peninsula. Within that continuum there appears to have been trade in materials such as stone from which tools were made, and there may even have been an exchange in marriage partners. Thus, in the prehistoric period, at least, while there may have been significant differences between peoples at the extreme ends of this spectrum, it may be meaningless, for example, to differentiate between the Native Peoples of Newfoundland's Northern Peninsula and those immediately on the other side of the Strait of Belle Isle.

Abenaki Native Americans have occupied northern New England for at least 10,000 years. There is no proof these ancient residents were ancestors of the Abenaki, but there is no reason to think they were not. Acolapissa The mild climate of the lower Mississippi required little clothing. Acolapissa men limited themselves pretty much to a breechcloth, women a short skirt, and children ran nude until puberty. With so little clothing with which to adorn themselves, the Acolapissa were fond of decorating their entire bodies with tattoos. In cold weather a buffalo robe or feathered cloak was added for warmth.

Diverse Nations By Dorothy Cole Donald L. Fixico's Rethinking American Indian History (UNM Press, paper, $16.95) was written by professional historians for other historians and students of history. It sets out a specialty: not a war or a certain timespan, but a particular place and group of people. And therein lies the problem. The central barrier to any volume that tries to take this broad an overview is the incredible diversity of the Indians themselves. I've never seen anyone try to study Iceland, France and Albania as representatives of the same European culture. Yet these three nations have more in common with each other, culturally and geographically, than do the Beothuk, Seminole and Pima Indians. It isn't about history but about how history is gathered. In their quest to see American Indian culture and history treated both respectfully and accurately, the scholars collected here discuss some promising developments in attitude and methodology. But flaws emerge. One is geographical. The farthest west any of these experts is currently stationed is Oklahoma, and it shows. When I was a kid in Illinois, we studied "Indians" as part of our U.S. history requirement. We learned about woodland hunters, farmers and gatherers in what became New England and the upper Midwest. We studied place names that came from their languages. None of it was inaccurate, but it was incomplete and highly regional. Half of us dressed as them for Thanksgiving plays; my sister once dressed up as an Indian, in buckskin fringe, for Halloween. We knew there were still Indians living up in Wisconsin and out West somewhere, but we'd never met any personally.
