It is, instead, about a search for accommodation and common meaning. It tells how Europeans and Indians met, regarding each other as alien, as other, as virtually nonhuman, and how between 1650 and 1815 they constructed a common, mutually comprehensible world in the region around the Great Lakes that the French called pays d'en haut. Here the older worlds of the Algonquians and of various Europeans overlapped, and their mixture created new systems of meaning and of exchange. Finally, the book tells of the breakdown of accommodation and common meanings and the re-creation of the Indians as alien and exotic. First published in 1991, the 20th anniversary edition includes a new preface by the author examining the impact and legacy of this study. 410 0$aCambridge studies in North American Indian history. 606 $aAlgonquian Indians$zGreat Lakes Region (North America)$xHistory 606 $aIndians of North America$zGreat Lakes Region (North America)$xHistory 606 $aIndians of North America$xFirst contact with other peoples$zGreat Lakes Region (North America) 607 $aGreat Lakes Region (North America)$xHistory 615 0$aAlgonquian Indians$xHistory. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xHistory. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xFirst contact with other peoples 676 $a977/.004973 700 $aWhite$b Richard$f1947-$0993443 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248232003316 996 $aThe middle ground$92416387 997 $aUNISA
