Encyclopedia Of North American Indians
Edited
An authentic and often surprising portrait of the complexities of the
Native American experience. Written by more than 260 contemporary authorities,
the volume features many Native American contributors - including eminent
writers, tribal elders, scholars, and activists - with voices as distinct
as their subjects, offering a deeper and more informed appreciation of
American Indian life, past and present. Illustrated with many rare photographs,
the Encyclopedia features articles on subjects such as mound builders,
reservations, cigar-store Indians, child rearing, powwows, boarding schools,
museums and collectors, dreams, the occupation of Alcatraz, and the impact
of American Indian civilizations on Europe and the world. Contemporary
topics include gambling, sports mascots, alcoholism, urban Indians, and
the status of women. Biographies illuminate not only famous chiefs and
warriors but an enormously diverse group of historical figures. Covering
Arctic to southeastern peoples, separate articles on more than one hundred
major tribes - from Abenaki to Zuni - discuss community origins, rituals
and beliefs, social organizations, and present-day life. 756 pgs.
