5.0 out of 5 stars Illustrations make this book appealing, July 29, 2008

This review is from: Indians Who Lived in Texas (Hardcover)

I bought the book after reading it in my public library because I think the illustrations provide considerable interest for children. I want my grandchildren to share my interest in these cultures. I like the format of the book and the writing is easy for children. I am not expert on Native American (Indian) culture, especially the more recent approaches to the subject but since childhood (some 60 years ago) have been interested in its standards of personal courage,integrity, personal self reliance and self discipline within a community organization. I want to expose my grandsons to the athletic abilitities as well as the excellent memories that Native American culture encouraged. This book does not emphasize the more violent aspects of the traditions. The material can be found elsewhere, but the illustrations make this book excellent for chiidren.

I bought this book at a library sale 3 years ago and I'm so glad that I did. We just went to the annual TX State Pow Wow and this book is the perfect follow-up resource for school. We will continue to use it each year as a starting point for further study into the Native American culture. My additional resource will be the book 500 Nations.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ONLY book of this type on the market!, October 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Indians Who Lived in Texas (Hardcover)

With a subject as narrow as Native Americans in a single and specific state, this book was very thorough. Subjects ranged from individual tribe appearance and dress to the specific foods and dwellings used by each. There are detailed maps showing which region each of the ten chief tribes inhabited while in Texas and what caused the disappearance of most from this state.

As a research tool for children I rate this an A+!
