Book Descriptions
for Children of Native America Today by Yvonne Wakim Dennis and Arlene B. Hirschfelder
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Color photographs accompany a brief text to introduce 25 North American Indian tribes, arranged here according to current geographical locations of tribal lands. The entry for each tribe covers one double-page spread and includes four or five color photographs of contemporary children, along with a few facts and details likely to be of interest to elementary-school-aged children. A map of the United States shows the exact locations for each of the 25 tribes cited, including the Ojibway and Oneida tribes in Wisconsin. (Ages 7–11)
