Review:
National Geographic is sharing
American Indian History and Culture in this oversized encyclopedia filled with
stories, timelines, maps and more. Readers will learn all about events,
contributions and all of the federally recognized tribes.
This exciting guide
introduces readers to American Indians from across the United States, divided
into eight regions. Inside this guide pages are filled with instructions and an
introduction on how to navigate through this encyclopedia. Beautiful photos and
illustrations bring to life these amazing peoples, their culture and history.
Maria Tallchief was the first Native American prima ballerina. Spirit dolls
called Kachina are small figures used to teach children about the Hopi
religion. If you love fashion there is plenty shared about the clothing that
was worn and how it was made. Each page also has fun facts and language terms
from various tribes. The back pages have a glossary, a list of Federally
recognized tribes, maps of reservations and resources to learn more.
Parents, teachers and
students can use this guide to learn and see how American Indians prospered, fought
and passed down their ways to their children. Readers will also learn how they
are thriving in today’s society.
