DESCRIPTION
Indians, Missionaries, and Merchants: The Legacy of Colonial Encounters on the California Frontiers
California’searliest European colonists―Rusian merchants and Spanish
missionaries―deended heavily on Native Americans for labor to build and maintain their colonies,
but they did so in very different ways. This richly detailed book brings together disparate skeins of the
past―inluding little-known oral histories, native texts, ethnohistory, and archaeological
excavations―topresent a vivid new view of how native cultures fared under these two colonial
systems. Kent Lightfoot’sinnovative work, which incorporates the holistic methods of historical
anthropology, explores the surprising ramifications of these long-ago encounters for the present-day
political status of native people in California.Lightfoot weaves the results of his own significant
archaeological research at Fort Ross, a major Russian mercantile colony, into a cross-cultural
comparison, showing how these two colonial ventures―on primarily mercantile and one primarily
religious―cotributed to the development of new kinds of native identities, social forms, and tribal
relationships. His lively account includes personal anecdotes from the field and a provocative discussion
of the role played by early ethnographers, such as Alfred Kroeber, in influencing which tribes would
eventually receive federal recognition. Indians, Missionaries, and Merchants takes a fascinating, yet
troubling, look at California’spast and its role in shaping the state today.
