From Booklist:
Gr. 2^-5. Beginning with the migration across the Bering Strait, Wood traces the history of the native people of North America, including the mound builders and the first large settlements. A double-page spread identifies the geographic location of the eight cultural groups of American Indians and provides a brief description of each area. Subsequent two-to four-page sections provide specifics about clothing, food, lifestyle, housing, and art for each group, mentioning particular tribes that occupied the area. Numerous illustrations clearly show details of community development, housing styles, pottery designs, clothing, implements, and sacred objects. Short biographies of eight American Indians, most of them well known, complete this attractive and easily understood introduction. A glossary and a list of further readings are appended. Karen Hutt
