"In ten chapters, fourteen leading scholars dispassionately describe sources and consequences of Amerindian warfare and violence, including ritual violence. Originally presented at an American Anthropological Association symposium, their findings construct a convincing case that warfare and ritual violence have been woven into the fabric of indigenous life in North America for many centuries."--BOOK JACKET.
