Over the years, many writers and historians have attempted to
identify the names of indigenous tribes in the New World, a task
made difficult by the sheer number of indigenous groups but
complicated even further by the fact that many of these names have
been passed down only through oral tradition. But beyond the small
number of indigenous tribes which are identified in standard
history volumes and textbooks, there are thousands of other
indigenous groups which, while lesser known, still deserve to have
their existence recorded and recognized.This book is an index of
tribal names collected from printed sources on indigenous peoples
in the New World. Because most of these original source materials
had attempted to reproduce words which had only been verbalized
previously, there was a great deal of variation between sources.
Organized alphabetically, this index collates these variations,
tracing them to the spellings and forms which have become
standardized over the years. Each entry includes the tribal name,
the tribe's 'parent group' or ancestral tribe, the original source
for the tribal name, and the approximate location of the name in
the original source material.
