From Library Journal
In this wide-ranging history of the Native peoples of North America from prehistory to the present, edited by a Canadian archaeologist and a former historian with the Smithsonian, a variety of authors present a huge amount of information in a very concise format. Chapters are both thematic ("Native peoples in Euro-American historiography") and regional ("the Arctic from Norse contact to modern times"). Where experts have differing opinions, such as the earliest dates for Native peoples in the Americas or the population of North America in 1492, authors explain their positions and refer readers to other points of view through discussion and footnotes. As the broad nature of the essays precludes presenting specific tribal information, this work complements other recent reference works, such as the Department of Commerce's American Indian Reservations and Trust Areas (1996). Despite indifferent indexes and occasional information gaps, these volumes should have a prominent place in most library reference collections.?Mary B. Davis, Huntington Free Lib., Bronx

Product Review
"experienced researchers will be gratified to have this work at hand as a tiller for steering through the seas of recent research and setting course for the scholarly horizon." J.H. O'Donnell III, Choice
"More than a thousand pages long, published in two parts as a boxed set, it looks authoritative, perhaps even definitive." Colin G. Calloway, The Journal of American History
"The series will provide readers accustomed to monographic studies with a valuable `big picture' and should prove an important reference tool for a wide readership." Paige Raibmon, BC Studies
"this superb account of the Native peoples of North America has no rivals.A must for every reference section and a bargain for private scholarly and lay libraries." Jamie S.Scott, Religious Studies Review
"The essays are superb and demonstrate a profound extreme proficiency of the subject areas, including a good balance between interpretation and factual data.The result is a clarification of history that is quite remarkable and proves exceedingly useful for grasping the greater issues that have affected Native peoples.In summary, then, this is a superb collection of essays." Letters in Canada 1997
"All the chapters are written by acknowledges experts, and each is packed with authoritative information." American Reference Book Annual
