"We can learn much about taking care of the land from the Indians." So ends a delightful story of our ancestors who landscaped our American continent. This Children's Press book from 1982 provides a basic study of the five (5) major Native American cultures, including my favorite, "Indians of the Northeast Woodlands". Teri Martini writes in a simple, readable style with pleasant descriptions of Indian culture, shelter and food. Authentic photos taken over several decades provide a rich impression of Native American dress and ceremony. Museum artifacts such as pottery and tools are pictured in addition to brightly drawn scenes from the book's various artists. This book would be the ideal introduction to Indian life for a beginning reader!
