Customer Reviews

Lots of Detail ~ Beautiful Pictures

Great pictures and lots of information throughout. This book captures my 1st grader's attention. Will be a good resource for homeschooling. For those concerned, this book acknowledges that archeologists do not agree when human beings "trekked across the Ice Age land bridge from Siberia". It states various theories as to who & when people were in the Americas. Love the organization of the book and so will be wonderful resource in our American studies.

Native American History for Kids!

DK Eyewitness books are great and informative. I am teaching ESOL students who are learning English and taking content courses at the same time. They are unfamiliar with American History and Native American history is an even greater enigma to them. This book which supplies graphics and photos, allows students to gather a lot of information visually at a time when they have troubling reading English.

NATIVE INDIANS

THIS WAS THE MOST THE BEST DK BOOK I EVER READ AND I JUST LOVE HISTORY KYLE VENTURA (...)

Glossy, thin and large two

As with the other "Eyewitness" books on various subjects, this book is also endowded with outstanding photography. The information is still minimal and based on the more popular material most folks are familiar with with the Native American. A good starter book for the yonger reader looking for some information on our American Natives............

A Detailed, Beutiful Book

North American Indian, a part of the Eyewitness Books series, is an excellent book. On each page, there are four or five stunning pictures with captions that explain the different elements of the pictures perfectly. The book includes descriptons of all sorts of different aspects of a North American Indian's life. It shows artwork done by several different tribes. The book also gives a history of all the different North American Indian tribes. It is a great book for an artist interested in the intricate art of the North American Indians, or a student looking for facts about the people. North American Indian is a wonderful all-around book; it is truly a great read!
