Featuring the work of many of our foremost indigenous writers, scholars, and leaders along with a treasure-trove of illustrations culled from the collection and archives of the National Museum of the American Indian, this magnificent volume celebrates the Native peoples of North, Central, and South America: their beliefs and ceremonies, their history, and the lives that they lead today. * Three hundred photographs-from arresting century-old portraits of great chiefs like Sitting Bull and Geronimo to full-color photographs of sculpted masks, graceful baskets, dazzling beadwork, and much more-complement the powerful voices and revealing insights of such prominent Native American figures as Vine Deloria, Jr., Wilma Mankiller, and N. Scott Momaday, to name only three of the distinguished contributors who explore every aspect of the rich and diverse indigenous cultures of our hemisphere.McMaster, Gerald is the author of 'Native Universe Voices of Indian America', published 2004 under ISBN 9780792259947 and ISBN 0792259947.
