The Wampanoags in the Seventeenth Century: An Ethnohistorical Survey

The Wampanoags in the Seventeenth Century: An Ethnohistorical Survey, published in 1970 by Catherine Marten, provides a detailed historical account of the Wampanoag tribe during their interactions with European colonists, particularly the Pilgrims in Plymouth. This work addresses the historical neglect of southeastern New England tribes in anthropological studies and aims to fill gaps in ethnographic knowledge about the Wampanoags. Marten explores their culture, demographics, and societal structure, offering insights into their way of life before and during European contact.
