Reviews

[Carly · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is packed full of great information on Tlingit Indians. I especially loved all of the actual photographs of the Tlingit Tribe. The book presents lots of great information in a very organized manner so it doesn't all jumble together. Kids would enjoy this book because it is easy to use and has really beautiful pictures of the Tlingit tribe. It would be a great book to read during a unit on the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest or a Native American unit.
