From School Library Journal
Gr 3–5—Each title covers four subjects as they relate to each group of Native Americans: their geographical region, how the region's resources influenced their culture, first contact with white settlers and its effects on tribal life, and tribal life today. The end of one chapter segues easily into the first part of the next chapter. For instance, in Plains, the second chapter, "The Hunt for Buffalo," ends with a description of ways in which the Comanche interpreted changes in nature as portends for finding buffalo. The next chapter, "Plains Culture," begins by elaborating on tribal religion. At times, the constant shifting from one tribe to another and back again is distracting. In addition, the tendency to group tribes together ("Many of these tribes exist today. Life has changed for them, and the tribes remain strong.") unnecessarily homogenizes the complex and diverse histories of each group. While a number of consultants are listed for each title, there are no tribal ones. In all titles, the writing is complemented by a bevy of paintings, maps, and photographs. VERDICT These general overviews provide very little new information. A supplemental purchase.
