American Indian customs, stories, and history come to life in this
important and authoritative reference, artfully designed and
packaged for kids and students. More than 160 tribes are featured
in this fantastic new encyclopaedia, which presents a comprehensive
overview of the history of North America's Native peoples. From the
Apache to the Zuni, readers will learn about each tribe's history,
traditions, and culture, including the impact of European expansion
across the land and how tribes live today. Features include maps of
ancestral lands; timelines of important dates and events; fact
boxes for each tribe; bios of influential American Indians such as
Sitting Bull; sidebars on daily life, homes, food, clothing,
jewellery, and games; Did You Know facts with photographs; and
traditional Native stories. The design is compelling and colourful,
packed with full-colour photographs. To help give kids the lay of
the land, this reference is arranged by region, and all federally
recognised tribes are included. Tribal members representing each
region and experts at the National Museum of the American Indian at
the Smithsonian Institution were involved in its creation. With
nothing comparable available, it is sure to be a valuable resource
for kids, students, librarians, and families.
