Alexandra Harmon. Indians in the Making: Ethnic Relations and Indian Identities around Puget Sound. (American Crossroads, number 3.) Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press. 1998. Pp. xii, 393. $40.00.

American historians generally believe that the cutting-edge scholarship relating to Native Americans focuses on peoples in the eastern part of the United States, characterizing research on American Indians in the West as parochial, local, and regional. As a result, historians often ignore important work conducted on the history of western tribes. It would be unfortunate indeed if historians ignored Alexandra Harmon's excellent book, which provides an examination of several diverse tribes, bands, groups, and villages in a vast portion of the Pacific Northwest surrounding Puget Sound and the Olympic Peninsula. The author deals with Lummis near present-day Bellingham, Washington; Nisquallies of the Olympia area; Klallams living near Port Angeles; and numerous others. She surveys a lengthy period of time from the 1820s to the 1970s, tying decades together by concentrating on the impact of white contact on the identity of Native peoples. . . .
