Their names - Big Foot, Geronimo, Crazy Horse, Red Cloud - ring out from a history that we have finally begun to piece together. Their tribes-Paiute, Seminole, Papago, Iroquois-emerge, each with its own distinct cultural richness. Their traditions, rituals and crafts are all part of our heritage. Now this fascinating, fully illustrated encyclopedia brings it all together-the names, the places, the conflicts, the anguish and the survival. Filled with more than 64 full-color photos and illustrations and more than 70 rare black-and-white photos from the 19th and early 20th century, this guide traces the voyage from Asia across the Bering Strait to North America more than 5,000 years ago and continues right through to the courageous struggles of Native Americans today. The complex and engrossing tapestry that includes the basket weaving and pueblos of the Anasazi Indians of New Mexico, the dugout canoes of the Chumash Indians of the Santa Barbara Channel coast, and the vision quest of young Arapaho and Cheyenne Indians of the high plains will come together for you in a stirring and exciting chronicle of history and culture.
