Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 5 Up–These revisions of books on the larger tribes of the North American continent (originally published in 1989) are among the best available. All three volumes open with a wonderful foreword by Menominee activist and writer Ada E. Deer in which she gives a glimpse of the Native perspective in today's society. The books are written from an anthropological or ethnographic point of view that allows readers to glean what life was and is like for Native peoples of North America, from a short section on prehistoric nomadic peoples living in 1700 B.C. to the people's fight for sovereignty and living improvements in the 21st century. Full-color inserts show the detailed crafts/handiwork of tribal members, while black-and-white maps, photos, and reproductions appear throughout. The books also include a brief synopsis of the tribe in "...at a Glance" sections and a list of important dates recognized by the dominant culture in the chronology.–Marlette Grant-Jackson, Humboldt State University, Arcata, CA

4.0 out of 5 stars
Insightfull,
This review is from: The Mohawk (Indians of North America) (Paperback)
The Mohawk by Nancy Bonvillain is a good introduction for someone who is interested in the histoty and background of the Mohawk. Especialy helpfull are the tips and invitations to further explore given subjects using links on the internet. A nice introduction, although at times taking rather large strides
