Gr 7 Up-The strength of this abundantly illustrated series entry is its approach. The book profiles Native American leaders routinely found in such titles, but rather than the usual account of battles and conflicts with whites, it explains why these individuals became prominent among their respective peoples. Arranged in four chapters roughly by region, the readable narrative flows seamlessly. There are lengthy photo essays between each of the four chapters that cover the nature of leadership in various Indian societies, the impressions of chiefs on their visits to Washington to meet the president, the astounding military strategy of Chief Joseph, and the wise decisions of Plenty Coups during the early reservation years. An extensive bibliography and index are included. The only complaint regarding organization is that readers must go to the index to locate the specific pages on each leader. There are no chapter subheadings or divisions. A useful and detailed reference for all libraries, especially for reports.-Lisa Mitten, University of Pittsburgh, PA
