This book contains 38 carefully researched, accurately drawn illustrations of the aboriginal inhabitants of North America, ranging from the Seminole of Florida to the Chilkat of Alaska. Other tribes represented include the Pequot, Mohawk, Iroquois, Seneca, Crow, Cree, Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, Huron and many more.
Chiefs, warriors, squaws and children are shown in authentic costume among tepees, pueblos and other traditional dwellings; many are depicted hunting, making war, dancing and cooking. Detailed renderings recreate their weapons (knives, clubs, axes, bows and arrows, etc.), basketry, masks, canoes and sleds.
Ideal as an educational resource (and an invaluable source of copyright-free illustration as well), this coloring book also offers hours of stimulating entertainment to anyone who desires to recapture the color and drama of Indian life.
