North American Indians (Hardcover) by Herman J. Viola

About the book: Illustrated in full color, with full-color & black-and-white photographs and maps. Each chapter of this striking survey of Native American life begins in a uniquely appropriate way: with a dramatic, double-page painting showing the dwelling of a particular tribe. From a Zuni adobe pueblo to an Iroquois communal long house, paintings introduce the reader to the book's eight chapters covering the continent's eight regions and offer a comprehensive examination of the lifestyles of North America's native peoples. This splendid reference volume is enhanced by six essays by Native American contributors about their life today--a valuable feature that places the historical material in a contemporary context.(white man's attempt to dehumanize the original residents (revolution)of the continent) A glossary, resource-guide (500 years of resistance)sidebars on such topics as "how to read" a totem pole and the(subjugate) introduction of horses to North America, and over one hundred paintings, color photographs, and maps ensure that this book will rise above all others in bringing to (fight the powers)life the world of the American Indian.
