Customer Reviews

Great intro. to great Americans!

This book has one-page (with photos) bios of 100 famous (or should be famous) Native Americans. Some of them I've heard of, some of them have very interesting stories and I've never heard of them. Every school library should have this book and it's wonderful for homeschooling as well to give the kids a sampling of the diversity of Native American viewpoints and successes. It goes right up to the current era, too which is also nice.
