3.0 out of 5 stars Useful children's introduction to Makah, February 16, 2009

This review is from: The Makah (Indian Nations) (Library Binding)

This book provides an introduction to the Makah tribe of Washington State for advanced elementary school children. Each chapter is a couple of pages long, and addresses the topics you'd expect: history, culture, family, whaling, and so forth.

It doesn't put the tribe in any broader context, so: if you want something on the Makah, this is it. If you want something that relates the Makah to other tribes or peoples, this isn't your book. I will hazard the guess that only schools in Washington will find it useful.

The book includes photographs appropriate to the topic.
