Scholastic Wins Again!!

This book is wonderful for students, teachers, parents, and generally anyone who is wanting information on specific Native American tribes. I teach fifth grade social studies, and I am having my students do a research report on various tribes. This book is well organized, thourough, and yet to the point. The students were able to use this book to get started. Granted, they eventually had to get other resources, but this book got all their report jitters out of the way. This book encouraged the students to further their research with few worries.Great reference book for Native American tribes.
