Native Americans: Customs, Costumes, Legends, and Lore by Gina Capaldi is a rare book - it is at once a work of art and a tool for student, teacher, and parent alike. It succeeds beautifully in it's sensitivity to the life-ways of the American Indian tribes, and reminds us that these tribes once inhabited the entire North American continent, from the Arctic to the Southwest, from New York to California, that the Indian was one with nature; and that the tribes had as many similarities as differences. The authors involves her readers through bold and direct hands-on projects that reflect that special mystical relationship Indians have always had with nature. I am confident that everyone who benefits from this book will learn an appreciation of the history and proud heritage of the Native Americans. Includes an illustrated map.
