A great reference and fascinating in its own right. I got this mainly to use as a reference when writing stories, but it's also a great book to browse through. I'm somewhat familiar with some of the Native American cultures in my area, but regarding those of most of the New World I'm fairly ignorant.
To me there's nothing more interesting than people, so psychology, history, sociology, and anthropology are all endlessly intriguing. As well as a lot of information, this book has a lot of illustrations in color of everything from household implements to religious symbols to weapons to clothing. Well worth reading and keeping as a reference.

Whew this one took a while to read, but it was exactly what I was looking for. I was wanting general information on the various tribes of Native Americans. It’s an encyclopedia, not for entertainment but great for learning. It was published in 1988, so I understand the time period, they did refer to the tribes as ‘Indians’ throughout the book. I’m hoping if there are more modern versions of this, that they have changed those references.
