Schenck (Ojibwe, Huron, and Blackfeet) presents the first scholarly work to untangle the origin, rise, and spread of Ojibwe identity and culture from the mid-seventeenth to mid-eighteenth centuries, as well as the emergence of Ojibwe identity in the early years of French imperial incursions into the Upper Midwest. Schenck traces the names ascribed to the Ojibwe by French officials, traders, missionaries, and settlers in the earliest European records to their presences in French America. Schenck then follows the people themselves and their complex relationships through the centuries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Schenck’s proficiency in French and her close reading of the sources, many in French, have facilitated a more accurate, traceable, and comprehensive documentary study than achieved by previous generations of scholars. \u003ci\u003eOjibwe Ethnogenesis, 1640–1740\u003c\/i\u003e has thus achieved our fullest understanding to date of Ojibwe roots and culture going back four hundred years.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1: Traditions of Origin\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2: Meet the Algonquins\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3: The Flight of the Outaouas and the Hurons\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4: The Bay of the Saint Esprit\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5: The French Claim Possession\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6: The Western Sauteurs\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7: The Great Peace of Montreal\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 8: No Peace in La Baie des Puans\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 9: The Post of the North\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 10: E pluribus Unum\u003cbr\u003e Afterword\u003cbr\u003e Appendices\u003cbr\u003e Tribal Names in 17th-18th centuries\u003cbr\u003e The Algonquian Totem (My paper from Algonquian Conference Papers)\u003cbr\u003e Ojibwe Leadership (chapter from \u003cu\u003eVoice of the Crane)\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52685664485656,"sku":"9781496241870","price":38.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/ojibwe-ethnogenesis-1640-1740-hardback-9781496241870","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
