As the first Americans, hundreds of indigenous bands and nations
already lived in North America when European explorers first set
out to conquer an inhabited land. This book captures the early
history of these complex societies and their 500-year struggle to
survive against all odds from war, displacement, broken treaties,
and boarding schools. Not only a history of tribal nations, Native
American History for Kids also includes profiles of famous Native
Americans and their many contributions, from early leaders to
superstar athlete Jim Thorpe, dancer Maria Tallchief, astronaut
John Herrington, author Sherman Alexie, actor Wes Studi, and more.
Readers will also learn about Indian culture through hands-on
activities, such as planting a Three Sisters garden (corn, squash,
and beans), making beef jerky in a low-temperature oven, weaving a
basket out of folded newspaper strips, deciphering a World War II
Navajo Code Talker message, and playing Ball-and-Triangle, a game
popular with Penobscot children. And before they are finished,
readers will be inspired to know that the history of the Native
American people is the history of all Americans.
