The Native American World (Wiley Desk Reference)

"The Native American World" fills the long-standing need for a single-volume popular reference on all aspects of Native American life, from prehistoric times to the present day. Combining solid scholarship with a popular, compelling writing style, author Donna Hightower-Langston, over the course of 350 entries, covers 200 tribal groups, and every important war, law, declaration, reservation, religious rite, technology, leader, agency, organization, and cultural creation. She also includes nearly 100 "In Their Own Words" eyewitness accounts of Native American life throughout history and 100 illustrations, including vintage photographs, maps, and drawings. For ease of reference, "The Native American World" is organized into four sections corresponding to Culture, Individuals, Nations, and Politics and Post-Contact History.
