Description

Learn some Native History about more than a hundred tribes, including the tribe's name, language, “Hello/How are you?" and “Thank you" in their language, and location (previous and current). Each tribe has 1 – 2 pages of information about the tribe. Pictures and paintings of the tribal people, as well as dishes, clothes, hunting, and activities may be featured as well. The book is separated into the following 8 main sections according to geographic location: The Arctic and Subarctic, The Northeast, The Southeast, The Plains, The Southwest, The Great Basin and Plateau, The Northeast Coast, and California. There is a map that shows the different divisions, and maps at each section that show where each of the tribes lived. Note: Keep in mind some of the paintings or pictures may depict people wearing very little clothing.
