Encounters at the Heart of the World by Elizabeth Fenn
The Mandan Indians, iconic plains people whose teeming, busy towns on the upper Missouri River were for centuries at the centre of the North American universe. Why don't we know more? Who were they, really? This book retrieves their history by piecing together important discoveries in archaeology, anthropology, geology, climatology, and more.
