This review is from: Indians of Idaho (Anthropological monographs of the University of Idaho) (Paperback)

Good introduction to cultures of indigenous cultures of Idaho. I wish that it had gone more in depth into their modes of subsistence, their family structures, conflict resolution methods, and how they produced their technologies. Overall, however, it provides a nice overview, and gives you a foundation for doing further, more in-depth research from other sources.
