The book begins with a very short history that the Indians came via Northwest Passage. From there, the author describes the different kinds of Indians from area. The author went from Northwest to Southwest to West to South and ending in the Northeast. The book would describe each area Indian's diet, clothing, hunting ways, housing, and any other interesting fact.
Although this may be long for a children's book, I believe that it would capture a child's imagination if the adult reading the book would: 1) ad lib some and 2) allow the listening child to read a little.
What I found interesting from an adult standpoint is the author said the Indians were in OUR land. I believe history has a different story.
A good book for teaching.
