Lots of photos, line drawings, sketches of objects and sacred places.

Bulk of text is engaging retelling of the main myths.

Book divided into six sections: The Indian World, Earthdivers and Creators, The Spiritual Cosmos, Keepers of Order, Web of Ceremony, Native American Legacy.

Not great, but has some cool bits of knowledge.

Nicely illustrated, grand and sweeping overview of the myths, rituals, practices and traditions of many Native American tribes. However, this material is far too complex to cover in a single book, resulting in a haphazard and disjointed jumble of half-told stories. It has many nice snippets of stories and descriptions, but there is no overarching principle of organization in this book as it shifts from Inuit to Pueblo in a single paragraph and treats their cultures as one and the same "pan-Indian" culture. This is oversimplifying this many-formed, many-themed world.
