Native Americans : Customs, Costumes, Legends, and Lore

This book is at once a work of art & a tool for student, teacher, & parent alike. It succeeds beautifully in its sensitivity to the life-ways of the American Indian tribes, & reminds us that these tribes once inhabited the entire North American continent, from the Arctic to the southwest, from New York to California; that the Indian was one with nature; & that the tribes had as many similarities as differences. Author & illustrator Capaldi involves her readers through direct hands-on projects that reflect that special mystical relationships Indians have always had with nature. Everyone who benefits from this book will learn an appreciation of the history & heritage of the Native Americans. Includes a large fold-out poster map. Illustrations.
