Native American Peoples explores the cultures of some of the earliest residents of North America. With direct, lively text covering each Native group's past and present, these books include each tribe's own origin stories and descriptions of its traditional way of life, its relationships with other tribes and with European settlers and explorers, its history through modern times, and life today, including the arts. In addition to the easy-to-understand text and vibrant historical and contemporary images, such helpful features as a time line, glossary, and suggested activities illuminate the cultures of the original Americans and their lives today. Once rulers of the buffalo plains, the Comanches are famed historically for their superb horse riding and lightning-quick raids. Today the Comanches have revived their culture, reestablishing their roots, including their spiritual observations and warrior societies.
