Product Description
"Excerpt from the book..."
Every work partaking of the nature of an autobiography is supposed to
demand an apology to the public. To refuse such a tribute, would be to
recognize the justice of the charge, so often brought against our
countrymen--of a too great willingness to be made acquainted with the
domestic history and private affairs of their neighbors

Product Description
A solitary hut, dismal, rectangular, stands on the north bank of the White River. Decay has long been at work upon it, yet it is still weather-proof. It was built long before planks were used in the Bad Lands of Dakota. It was built by hands that aimed only at strength and durability, caring nothing for appearances. Thus it has survived where a lighter construction must long since have been demolished. ... Read more

A good map of a very special part of the West
I use this map all the time.It features the entire Hopi and Navajo reservations, and a large portion of the Colorado Plateau, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah.
It's got all the major roads and natural features, and pays special attention to the borders of various Indian reservations.It's among the most helpful maps I own of the West. ... Read more

excellent,informative,well researched book !
This is a great book !!..It is well written,informative and entertaining. many pictures,drawings and in depth information on just about everything..I also make my own primitive archery equipment and hunt with homemade bows/arrows which was my prime reason for buying the book.. I was very impressed with the in depth information in this area and as a primitive bowyer myself I can attest to the fact that the author at least has a good basic understanding of such archery.. Only those of us that are obsessed with such skills will know more than the author.. I can tell that it is not his primary hobby, but I can also tell that he is pretty knowledgeable on the subject..

If you are into primitive archery this section alone is interesting read( it is NOT an intructionional book, but is informative enough to give you good insight to how native bows were made)..

The book covers a lot of different topics and has very in depth knowledge of each area..

Comprehensive review of Native California Life Ways
The author covers a wide range of survival skill subjects from the use of an atlatl to how a boat was made from tules.The book is filled with detailed information with cited sources.The table of contents is hefty and an excellent bibliography is provided.A must for anyone interested in survival skills of Native Californians from the past.

Thorough look at California Indian life
This book provides a fascinating and comprehensive glimpse into the daily lives of pre-contact California Indians.It is laid out in easy to use chapters that provide just enough information to be complete, but still include local examples and myths to add flavor to the narrative.My only complaint is that some of the skills are a bit complicated and are confusing to read.I guess you just have to go out to the wilderness and try it out!This is a must-read for anyone interested in California Indians and their history.

Product Description
This newly revised and updated guide provides all the essential information travelers need to explore the spectacular buttes and secret canyons of the Navajo and Hopi Nations (together they cover an area bigger that Maine). Native Roads is packed with detailed maps, points of interest, landmarks, and even tips on culturally sensitive etiquette. Here's where to find Navajo and Hopi hospitality in fine restaurants and lodgings, and also where to witness ancient cultures vibrantly alive in the modern world. 100 b/w photographs and illustrations.Amazon.com Review
Some Arizona books have these large sections dotted off--the Indian reservations the authors think you needn't know about--but this book takes you there. It's informed, pragmatic, and refreshingly free of hype. The "Important Things to Know" chapter includes Navajo creation stories along with health precautions and how to buy a Navajo rug. From Four Corners National Monument to the Grand Canyon, Fran Kosik gives needed survival advice on motels, camping, restaurants (and gas stations, which aren't as plentiful as you may think), interspersed with scholarly archeological, geographical anthropological information, and sensitive attention to the people who still live there. ...

the single best......
i bought a used copy of this book thinking that it would give me the highlights of the various roads of "indian country".. i was a bit disappointed in this for about the first hundred pages - until i finally figured out what the book was about.it was subtle detail about everything. once i slowed down and started understanding what the author was doing,i suddenly realized that i had in my hands one of the most amazing books i have EVER read. history, politics, geology, rug patterns,
hotels, shops- of the hopi and navajo nations -it is all here. buy this book if you travel in these areas. it is simply wonderful.

Native Roads: The Complete Motoring Guide to the Navajo and Hopi Nations, Newly Revised.
Not often does a road guide go in to the category of leisure reading, but this one certainly does. The descriptions capture the magic of this part of the country, and serve as a reminder of previous visits to the area, and as a stimulus for future visits.

Hopi & Navajo Road Trip Guide
I'm just going to quote Tony Hillerman, he says it best: "NATIVE ROADS is loaded with all sorts of helpful iinformation, well designed, easy to use. Don't head for the reservation country without one."

Native Roads: The Complete Motoring Guide to the Navajo and Hopi Nations
If you are going to travel in this area, and DON'T want to get lost. Buy this book

NATIVE ROADS
THIS BOOK WAS VERY EASY TO USE AND SO VALUABLE IN "FINDING" PLACES TO VISIT.WE TRAVELED IN THE HOPI RESERVATION RECENTLY AND USED THIS BOOK.WE TOOK THE BOOK'S SUGGESTIONS ON TWO SPECIAL PLACES TO DRIVE OFF THE MAIN ROAD AND FOUND SPECTACULAR VIEWS.ONE SUGGESTION WAS TO DRIVE TOWARDS THE WINDMILL, WHICH WE DID AND WHAT WE SAW WAS UNBELIEVABLE.COAL MINE CANYON OPENED UP BEFORE OUR EYES - SURPRISING BEAUTY FOUND IN A SPECIAL RED AND WHITE CANYON.YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE KNOWN IT WAS THERE EXCEPT FOR THIS BOOK.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN FINDING AREAS LESS "TOURISTY". ...

Product Description

The social and political relations that have existed and still continue between the Government of the United States and the several Indian tribes occupying territory within its geographical limits are, in many respects, peculiar.

The unprecedentedly rapid increase and expansion of the white population of the country, bringing into action corresponding necessities for the acquisition and subjection of additional territory, have maintained a constant straggle between civilization and barbarism. Involved as a factor in this social conflict, was the legal title to the land occupied by Indians. The questions raised were whether in law or equity the Indians were vested with any stronger title than that of mere tenants at will, subject to be dispossessed at the pleasure or convenience of their more civilized white neighbors, and, if so, what was the nature and extent of such stronger title?

These questions have been discussed and adjudicated from time to time by the executive and judicial authorities of civilized nations ever since the discovery of America.

The discovery of this continent, with its supposed marvelous wealth of precious metals and commercial woods, gave fresh impetus to the ambition and cupidity of European monarchs.

I do not recommend this book. It is dull and confusing throughout. It has no start, end, or meaning, it just rambles on. I would recommend Indeh, a good book that would keep u interested and the stories are told in the Indian way. captivating from the first page to the last. ... Read more
