Discover Native America: Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah I used Limon's and Minear's first book when traveling in the Southwest and found it very helpful. When I found their new book, I bought it immediately. As I started to browze through the book, I was caught up in the history and culture of Native Americans and found it hard to put down. They have done their research. I am looking forward to planning another trip throughout the Southwest using this new, colorful and captivating guide.

"Having traveled with one of the authors (Limon) I can vouch for the extreme care taken to be as accurate as humanly possible. In preparing this wonderful book, many conversations were held with Native Americans, using sensitivity and respect for their traditions. Besides having a handy reference for what events occur yearly in each of the 19 areas covered, you will come away with specifics such as what is appropriate behavior for visitors at a powwow and what are traditional words for "hello" in several languages. This book is a treasure of information, written by two women who love this land and have covered untold miles in the last three decades." Pat F.

Travel guidebooks are essential to my wanderlust, and Discover Native America is a gem for those who want ideas about what to see and what to know. I'm sure the book with be well-worn from being my traveling companion, teacher, research source, and storyteller.

If you plan to visit the Four Corners area, this is the guide for you. You won't miss any details of the stunning natural surroundings and you will get a real "feel" for the indigenous cultures.

The second book by Janet and Tish was again extremely helpful as we traveled the routes and visited the places the authors described. The carefully researched and documented material answered our questions and provided additional solid information that enhanced our appreciation and understanding of the history and culture of the Four Corners area. My husband and I highly recommen this book for anyone planning or traveling in Native America.

Discover Native America is an essential guide for anyone interested in the history and essence of the Four Corners states. Minear and Limon delve into regional Native American cultures in respectful, colorful detail, leaving the reader with a solid sense of place and context. An invaluable travel guide by two very capable travel writers.

As a veteran traveler in the southwest this book will always accompany any trip in this region. The previous edition of this book proved so valuable for planning and exploring places both well-known and off the beaten path.

If you enjoy far away places, mystery, and the beauty of the Southwest, then this book is for you. It is a well written, comprehensive and an extremely user friendly guide, plus it gives you great insight into the Native cultures.

Discover Native America is a must have for those who are in love with history, culture and travel in the 4-corner states. From well known tourist sites to the "road less traveled" spots, I find the book to be full of valuable resources. I've traveled the SW many times but this book helps me to find new points of interest and new activities to enjoy.
