NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS Hardcover – Jan. 1 1997 Bill Yenne & Susan Garratt (Sealed)

They were called Indians by the first Europeans who thought they inhabited the islands of Southeast Asia, but they were the native people of a vast new continent whose breadth and complexities it would take five centuries to digest and comprehend. These people are presumed to have come from Asia 50 millennia ago from whence they spread across the Land, following the caribou and buffalo, learning their ways and becoming part of the great Land themselves. They came to develop a half-dozen major languages and to live in nine roughly geographical areas in North America. This book presents in detail the story of the Indians of the various regions and describes the specific cultures and heritage that evolved in each.
