Terrific Book About Traditional Plains Native American Culture
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I liked this book because it provides very insightful information on the Plains Indians. It makes sure the reader understands the different people and the cultures - similarities and differences. I was glad to understand how tribes and clans were related. How the Plains Indians survived on consuming Bison meat was pretty interesting too. A very well researched book.
Great for a 3rd grade Indian project
