People of the Buffalo

How the Plains Indians Lived

by Maria Campbell

tagged: native american studies
Description

No other group in North America has been more romanticized and stereotyped than the Plains Indians ñ the Blackfoot, Plains Cree, Dakota, Kiowa and other grassland tribes. This book, with its authenticated drawings, tells how the Plains Indians lived: how they hunted buffalo, made their tepees, clothing and tools. It also explores their beliefs, ceremonies and feeling for family life.

This is a new release of the book published in July 1990.
