Synopsis
Celebrate and explore the diversity of Native American cultures in this superbly illustrated gift book.
The North America ‘discovered’ by Christopher Columbus in 1492 was actually home to millions of people across the continent. Through lively, informative text and detailed reconstructions, find out how these different peoples adapted to their individual surroundings – how the Plains Indians depended on the great buffalo for food and raw materials, which tribes lived in dome-shaped wigwams and which tribes wore snowshoes in the winter.
Complete with detailed maps, glossary, index, and a suggested reading section, this book is the perfect introduction to the fascinating and diverse cultures of the native Americans.

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
