Excellent Resource

Sutton's book is an excellent resource for both researchers and students of Native North America. Its coverage is complete, and the geographical regions delineated match those used in the Smithsonian's Handbook of North American Indians, making this volume an excellent text. The cross referencing with the Smithsonian's multivolume resource adds a great deal of utility for the use of Sutton's book as a classroom textbook or starting point for research. Sutton's treatment of Native American culture and history is excellent, not excluding contemporary Native American issues and the roots of modern problems. The study of the past may bring us closer to finding solutions to the problems we face today in intercultural relations. I highly reccommend this book to both instructors and researchers who deal with Native American issues, culture, and history.
