Review by Horn Book Review

Each of these books focuses on a traditional activity characteristic of a Native American group. Included are bits of history, folklore, and culture, plus hands-on activities, such as recipes. The easy-to-read format is enhanced with colorful illustrations, but the books are too brief to provide more than a cursory look at each group. Directory, reading list. Glos., ind. [Review covers these America's First People titles: [cf2]The Navajo, The Shoshone, The Choctaw,[cf1] and [cf2]The Inuit[cf1].] (c) Copyright 2010.
