About this eBook

Author McGee, W J, 1853-1912
Title The Siouan Indians
Summary "The Siouan Indians" by W.J. McGee is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work offers an extensive exploration of the Siouan stock of Native Americans, detailing their language, culture, societal organization, and history. McGee examines various tribes within the Siouan stock, such as the Dakota, Mandan, and Winnebago, and provides insights into their beliefs, arts, and social structures. At the start of this publication, McGee defines the Siouan stock, highlighting its geographical range and the various tribes encompassed within it. He discusses the linguistic characteristics of the tribes and notes the complexity of their social organizations, which were heavily influenced by their environment and culture. The opening sections also address the historical context of the Siouan Indians, emphasizing their evolution and interactions with neighboring tribes, as well as their adaptation to changing circumstances brought on by the arrival of Europeans. The author establishes a foundation for a deeper understanding of the Siouan peoples and their significant role in the broader narrative of Native American history.
