This bibliography lists available literature relating to the American Indians of Appalachia. Containing approximately 540 entries, the list includes publications on American Indians from prehistoric times up to the present. The materials focus primarily on the Shawnee and Cherokee tribes, which inhabited portions of what is now called central Appalachia, embracing the mountainous parts of Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina. The listed citations touch upon areas of history, sociology, anthropology, and archeology, giving researchers access to information on the world of the Appalachian Indian: eating habits, migration routes, the use of African-American slaves, hunting grounds, medicines, relations with other Indians and White colonial powers, political systems, and intra-tribal struggles. Aside from Appalachian states, the cited literature also extends to surrounding areas, where the Shawnee and Cherokee carried their influence. This bibliography includes monographs, periodical articles, museum papers, bibliographies, handbooks, and other types of documents, organized alphabetically by authors and titles. (TES)
