Description
The Mammoth Book of Native Americans by Jon E. Lewis offers a comprehensive and chronological history of America's indigenous peoples. Spanning from the early entry of Native Americans into North America to the struggles of the Cheyenne and Comanche, this book provides a detailed account of their society, culture, and religion. The book explores the full range of Native American experiences, including their spiritual practices, cultural traditions, and the impact of historical events such as the "forgotten wars" of the 16th and 17th centuries. It also examines the complex and often uncomfortable aspects of the Amerindian past, including cannibalism and the decimation of North America's buffalo herds. By presenting a nuanced and balanced view of Native American history, this book provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the experiences and perspectives of America's indigenous peoples.
