The Shoshone

by Ned Blackhawk

Opening with a tribal-appropriate creation story or folktale, each title examines Native American origins, ways of life, key historical events, religion and traditions, and family life. Steeped in the culture of Native Americans, each title is written or cowritten by a Native American, and many titles are illustrated by Native American artists. Readers gain an understanding of each nation's past while discovering what the future holds for the American Indian.
