From the Inside Flap:
More than providing a compendium of southwestern Indian history and culture, this remarkable book gives the reader an understanding of and appreciation for the unique lifeways of these peoples whose philopophy, the author believes, may be our one great resource for peace.
Review:
." . . a fine introductory reference tool. The clearly written straightforward text offers a comprehensive survey of the history, traditions, contemporary life, economic conditions, geography, and cultural organization of each tribe. Dutton included the major divisions of Pueblo, Athabaskan, Ute, Paiute, and Rancheria peoples, and is cognizant of their differences, as well as the ways in which they have influenced each other. The maps, photographs, and calendar of event would prove useful for those who plan to visit the area, and the extensive bibliography is a good starting point for further study."
There is virtually nothing comparable in quality.
This volume is a must for every library with any pretensions to a Southwestern collection. Dr. Dutton knows her subject and loves it, sharing that love with readers and making it easy for them to see for themselves.
