Description

|
|
|
This illustrated dictionary for readers 6 to adult provides a broad overview of Native American peoples in the United States and Canada, briefly describing their cultures, the languages they spoke, and the regions where they were found. It includes profiles of every major tribe—Iroquois, Algonquians, Muskogees, Sioux, Dakotas, Osages, and many more—as well as details of their homes, transport, weapons, and other artifacts. Here too are capsule biographies of key figures in Indian history, including Comanche chief Quanah Parker, Sioux chief Sitting Bull, Spanish conquistador Francisco Coronado, and U.S. general George Armstrong Custer.
