Indianer: Das klingt nach Freiheit, Prarie, Buffeljagd und
Lagerfeuer - bis der wei?e Mann kam und alles kaputt machte. Nach
wie vor pragen solche Bilder die gelaufigen Vorstellungen uber die
ersten Bewohner Nordamerikas. Doch wie lebten die Indianer
wirklich, wie begegneten sich die Stamme untereinander und was sind
die Probleme eines Indianers heute? Thomas Jeier raumt in dieser
umfassenden Geschichte der Indianer mit einer Reihe von Klischees
auf - Indianer waren weder die »edlen Wilden« noch die ersten
Umweltschutzer. Zugleich uberrascht sein Buch mit einer Fulle
bislang unbekannter Erkenntnisse, etwa wenn er uber die Hochkultur
der Ackerbau treibenden Anasazi schreibt oder deutlich macht, dass
die amerikanische Verfassung Vorlaufer im Irokesenbund hatte.
