Fascinating story. A lot I didn't know about.

Another book from my childhood. I learned a little and am intrigued to find out more of some of these tribes, of course now I can google it - but had never heard of some of these groups before reading this book.

This seems to be a pretty general overview intended for primary-aged students. Not in depth at all. However, author does provide a good reference list at book's end.
