From "Aztec" to "Zuni," here are portraits of the daily lives of
the First Nations people who lived and still live on the continent
of North America; the great floating island the Northeastern
woodland tribes called Turtle Island. Songs, chants and legends
from the tip of southern Mexico to Alaska and Arctic Canada are
included. Covering a time span of a thousand years, the book
includes tribes now decimated or who are a nearly forgotten and
rarely mentioned part of history.
This book of word-sketches paints a picture of their world: at
times harsh and cruel, at other times spiritual and filled with
beauty. These word-sketches convey the humanness of the original
inhabitants of Turtle Island, the Native American Indians; paints
them as neither noble nor savage, but simply as people who learned
to live with nature's challenges and hardships and to endure.
To read these portraits of tribes and individuals, their land
and customs, their needs, both physical and spiritual, is to
understand the magnificent heritage that is the gift to the world
from Native American Indian people.
