As their world was convulsed by the spread of European diseases, competition for guns, furs, and deerskins, and imperial powers' unrelenting pursuit of \"savage\" allies, Cherokee communities responded by creating new solidarities. At the dawn of the eighteenth century, the idea of unity among the widely dispersed Cherokees would scarcely have occurred to their leaders. A century later, chiefs would declare unequivocally that they stood for the whole Cherokee nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSteps toward national unity were partially a response to the exigencies of war. But while armed conflict was frequent, David Narrett shows that the bonds of Cherokee peoplehood were forged primarily through efforts to maintain peace and secure their livelihoods. The Cherokees—both men and women—were remarkably skillful diplomats who practiced peacemaking as a distinctive spiritual art in which adversaries would reconcile through a mutual and symbolic forgetting of wrongs inflicted on one another. Pragmatic and purposeful, Cherokees adeptly managed relationships with colonials and Indigenous rivals, seeking to preserve their independence and living space and to maximize advantages from trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRich in detail and insight, and told through captivating personal stories, \u003cem\u003eThe Cherokees\u003c\/em\u003e offers a portrait of the perseverance that built a nation. Amid an onslaught of struggle and change, the Cherokees became a people who survived against all odds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000770871532,"sku":"9780674258204","price":71.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1083923482428.jpg?v=1763303398"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/david-narrett.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
