0First People tells the story of Native Americans--from their arrival on the continent 10,000 years ago to their search for identity in the modern world. Avoiding standard clich s and easy generalizations, the book presents each tribe as an individual, evolving culture, with its own history, artwork, and traditions. With a wealth of modern and historic images, innovative page layouts, and compelling first-person accounts, this is an eye-opening look at the richness and variety of North American tribes, and a moving account of the European conquest.
