Indians of North America / Turner, Geoffrey

Trying to press all of aboriginal North America into one small volume is like trying to pour Lake Superior into a duck pond; a great deal has to be evaporated off in the process.

Covers the whole variegated and fascinating tapestry of aboriginal North America, from the efficient Eskimo to the lowly cannibals of the Texas coast and from the teeming tribelets of California to the great confederacies of the Iroquois and their neighbours in the Eastern Woodlands.
