Covering a subject that is taught in school and embraced by students,
American Indians functions like a pocket visual encyclopedia of the
history, culture, and customs of fifty major tribes across North
America. Written by the former director of public affairs of the
Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian, the
deck covers geographical origins, myths and religious beliefs, important
people and historical events, arts, festivals, and contemporary issues.
The mysterious Anasazi. The democratic Iroquois. The friendly
Wampanoags, who helped create the holiday we know as Thanksgiving.
Elaborate rites of the Hopi. All illustrated with portraits, historic
photographs, artifacts, tribal artwork, and other images.
