Editorial Reviews

Review

“This encyclopedia fills a gap in the availability of reliable information about indigenous peoples...It was produced under the aegis of expert consultants from each of those regions—experts who are not only members of Native communities but who are also professionally involved in the research, preservation, and documentation of indigenous matters... In sum, this book should be part of every classroom and school library.” -- Booklist starred review


"As there is nothing comparable in publication at this time, especially with the scholarly expertise, cultural sensitivity, and respectfulness on display, this book is sure to be a valuable reference resource for students and teachers who want to learn more about native culture and history."
