Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-9-A marvelous addition to any collection. The Yues' focus is on the structures of several tribes of the eastern woodlands. However, in addressing these topics, the authors also cover many other aspects of Native life: communities and tribal divisions; daily, seasonal, and yearly life; and religious practices. Readers will be drawn in to this accessible, well-researched text as it imparts fascinating tidbits and a respect for these people and their lives. Simple, yet detailed black-and-white illustrations in pen and ink and watercolor and well-labeled diagrams add richly to the text. The wide-ranging bibliography notes titles appropriate for younger readers. A clearly written, well-organized title.

Review
"The Yues write clearly, and often lyrically, of the early Native people of these Eastern Woodlands." —Horn Book, starred review -- Review
Before the arrival of Europeans, the people who lived in the woodlands of North America had come to a unique way of living in harmony with their environment. Most of the time, these Woodland Indians lived and worked outside. Their communal shelters became known as the wigwam and the longhouse. This easy-to-understand, interesting work of non-fiction, liberally illustrated, describes the daily lives of people in a culture now lost. The tone of the prose chillingly conveys the decimation of these Native Americans. A 2000 Parents' Choice® Recommended winner.
