$12.00

“The American Indians are an ancient people with a long and noble history. Their many tribes inhabited most of this continent thousands of years before European explorers set foot on it. This How and Why Wonder Book of North American Indians tells their story. The cultures and customs that grew out of how they adapted to their environment are fascinating and exciting.

The Indian’s life, however, was irrevocably changed when the white man began his endless thrust past the frontier to eventually occupy almost all of the territory once possessed by the Indians.

This book is both history and drama/history in its faithful account of events, and drama in its portrayal of human suffering. What can we learn from this moving chronicle for the present and future? Are there any clues here which will help people with different racial and cultural heritages, but with the same human nature, to resolve their conflicts peacefully?”
