Loved this book since I was young....

I would highly recommend this book for the content and "down-to-earth" wisdom in its pages. It is an older book, so it is written in a style you don't find much anymore, but that's a big part of its charm... it is just SO full of information. Many time-period projects, crafts, lore, even a great section on many tribes' languages and specific words. A must for anyone interested in studying to learn more about Native Americans, even though it is a bit dated.
