Hello AskHistorians,
I'm not sure this is the proper place for this, but I couldn't think of a better and I didn't see anything against it in the subreddit rules, so here goes.
I'm writing my term paper in US history on the changes in Native American Society as a result of European colonization, with an emphasis on the Eastern seaboard, as that's where the American colonies were located. Now, I don't want you to answer the question for me, I just need some help finding sources for it. I've been looking, and while I've found plenty of journals/articles, I'd like to have at least a book or two to reference, and am having trouble with the school resources. If you could just point me in the direction of some good books on this subject, that would be incredibly helpful.
Anything book re: King Phillips' War should get you what you need.
For a quick and dirty, Nathaniel Philbrick has some points to make in Mayflower but it is more focused on the white attitude and how they interacted. I assume you are looking for a focus on the native population - that will be harder to find since the sourcing will obviously be from the settler POV.
The guy you want to look for is James Axtell. I think The European and the Indian would be a good book. Also look at Facing East from Indian Country by Daniel Richter and The Middle Ground by Richard White.
Though would help if you gave a time period you're looking at.
For a source on how those interactions were working out along the St-Lawrence and the Great Lakes, might want to take a look at the Relations of the Jesuits. Although tweeking specific info out of there can be something of a job given the sheer volume of that body of work.
