Looks at the culture, customs, and daily life of Alaskan natives before Alaska became a state in 1959.

Illustrated in full color, with full-color & black-and-white photographs and maps. Each chapter of this striking survey of Native American life begins in a uniquely appropriate with a dramatic, double-page painting showing the dwelling of a particular tribe. From a Zuni adobe pueblo to an Iroquois communal long house, paintings introduce the reader to the book's eight chapters covering the continent's eight regions and offer a comprehensive examination of the lifestyles of North America's native peoples. This splendid reference volume is enhanced by six essays by Native American contributors about their life today--a valuable feature that places the historical material in a contemporary context. A glossary, resource-guide sidebars on such topics as "how to read" a totem pole and the introduction of horses to North America, and over one hundred paintings, color photographs, and maps ensure that this book will rise above all others in bringing to life the world of the American Indian.

Povídky v této knížce jsem psal mnoho let. Pořád se dost dobře čtou – možná trochu líp, když jsem z nich vychytal chyby z původní, ještě ruční, sazby. Přiznávám se, že jsem je trochu dočistil — tu neobratně použitou frázi, tam špatně postavenou větu. Ale víc nic. Psal jsem je hned naponejprv nejlíp, jak jsem uměl a umím.Píšu rád. A budu psát tak dlouho, dokud mé prsty budou moci běhat po klávesnici. Harry Harrison
