This series helps readers comprehend Native American nations as separate communities with their own cultures rather than as one monolithic group. Each volumehighlights the original land, traditions, beliefs, and political hierarchy of the covered nation. Large photos, paintings, maps, and infographics help readers understand the content. Authors describe encounters with the colonizers and the impact they had on each nation. Readers also learn about each nation today, including where they live and how they uphold their traditions. Titles cover contributions Native American nations have made to the society at large, such as Navajo Code Talkers and the Blackfeet Environmental Office’s drinking water tests. Images of traditional dwellings, clothing, and art portray how distinct these communities are from one another. Back matter includes a time line, glossary, additional resources, and index. VERDICT A stunning introduction to Native American nations.
