Ecology and Ethnogenesis by Adam R Hodge
Argues that the Eastern Shoshone tribe, now located on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming, underwent a process of ethnogenesis through cultural attachment to its physical environment that proved integral to its survival and existence.
“How do humans evolve as distinct ethnic groups over time and space? Adam Hodge pushes that historical question backward—centuries before Euroamerican contact—to reconstruct the roots of Shoshone ethnogenesisHis analysis of the interplay between cultures and dynamic environments is broadly conceived and deeply interdisciplinary. A masterful methodological approach.”—David Rich Lewis, emeritus professor of history at Utah State University
“This is a wide-ranging, methodologically vigorous, and wonderfully multifaceted study of the Eastern Shoshone Indians who have been consigned to the margins of American history for far too long. Here the Eastern Shoshones emerge as creative and superbly adaptive people who have for centuries drawn power—economic, political, and spiritual—from land that sustains them in ways that are both profound and surprising. Adam Hodge illuminates those dynamics with skill and verve.”—Pekka Hämäläinen, author of The Comanche Empire
“Adam Hodge reaches back and disrupts the concept of ‘pre’ history through an environmental focus on Shoshone history. This is a major contribution to the fields of Native history, environmental history, Western/borderlands history, and Indigenous studies. Hodge demonstrates a commanding understanding of historiography, and his focused approach further connects this overlooked region and culture with neighboring histories among the Ute, Comanche, Diné, and Paiute Nations.”—Natale A. Zappia, Nadine Austin Wood Chair of American History at Whittier College
