by Robin Crichton
All the Indian tribes of America are westernising, but they show great diversity in the degree and pace at which they are adopting White American habits and patterns. What accounts for the resistance in some tribes? Robin Crichton compares two small related groups, the Tuscaroras of Niagara and the Mesquawkies of Tama, Iowa, and analyses the differences in their reactions.
