Everyday Life of the North American Indians

This book, by the author of several outstanding studies of ancient peoples, presents the story of the Native American from his earliest beginnings as an immigrant from the Asian mainland to life on government-authorized reservations. A well-woven narrative follows the career of nomad and hunter throughout the New World, describes the life of the farmer, and presents detailed, in-depth views of the daily life, times and culture of an athlete and warrior, spouse and parent, witch doctor and worshipper, artist and craftsman. Enhanced with more than 100 illustrations, this highly readable account presents a comprehensive picture of the lives of an amazing and often tragic people.
