From School Library Journal
YA-- An easy-to-read book that is packed with information covering customs, history, and art of every major tribe in North America. Laid out regionally and chronologically, it is an ideal reference. The maps, drawings, and diagrams bring the well-written text to life. Short sections highlight specific aspects of a culture such as basketry of California tribes or building a dugout canoe. The fine illustrations that accompany them will spark interest in learning more about the cultures. Of special note is the section dealing with current Native American issues. Finally, there is a helpful listing of museums, archeological sites, and special ceremonies. A fine addition to high school libraries that will help students in history, art, and humanities.

Reader Reviews
This is a very good book, it is richly illustrated and covers the entire continent. Like many Readers Digest books it has many interesting sidebars that help give context to the main chapter theme. Likewise, the maps are very useful and well prepared. Many illustrations depict artifacts that give good insight into the cultures being described. This book is essential for the beginning American history student.
