This book is still around?!?! by E. Perrigo (western, Neb.)  5 Stars
October 09, 2009
I was delighted to see "North American Indians" on my children's home school book list. For whatever reason, this was one of my favorite books when *I* was a kid.
Rather than being a trite, stereotypical book about Indians, as so many kids' books are, this one gives a good description of the historical tribes and their locales.
I do wish it touched a little on where those tribes are today and how they are faring, as far too many kids have no concept whatsoever about modern Indians. However, there's only so much that can be squeezed into a children's picture book. All in all, I think it's very well done.
I hope my own kids will enjoy it even half as much as I have.

My daughter enjoyed this book.... by Collins 5 Stars
August 15, 2008
My 9 year old daughter enjoyed this book. It is a brief book over the different Indian tribes in the United states as they were before the white settlers arrived. We liked the U.S map at the beginning of the book that showed where each tribe lived. It is a short but good book with nice pictures that will add to any Indian study.

North American Indians by A Customer  1 Stars
October 22, 2007
This book talks about different Indian tribes, but it is very brief. Only couple of sentences about each tribe. It is like a summary in few words or information flyer. It is not enough to learn much. You can get that type of summary online from wikipedia and don't have to buy a book for it.
