"Muskoghean Warfare in the Contact Era"
Warfare is a topic that has received a high level of attention in the anthropological literature since the inception of the discipline. Much of the literature, however, has focused on the origins and causes of warfare rather than the behaviors associated with it. Throughout the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, Europeans and Americans employed tactics and instituted laws that sought to subjugate Native American and appropriate their lands. The Muskoghean peoples of the SE U.S. resisted this process by employing a distinct set of behaviors during combat. These behaviors provided them with substantial success against both Europeans and Americans.
