Dictionary of Indian Tribes of the Americas
DICTIONARY OF INDIAN TRIBES OF THE AMERICAS - Second Edition contains information on over 1,150 tribal nations of the entire western hemisphere, from the Aleuts of the Arctic region to Onas in southern Argentina and Chile.

Every effort has been made to include tribes that have not been extensively covered in other publications. Modern anthropologists and historians tend to agree that there is a basic homogeneity (cultural, social, biological, or other similarities within a group) among the native peoples of the Americas that need to be considered when any of the tribes are studied. The tribal entries were written by noted local, national and international historians and anthropologists.

Indian Captivity in Spanish America
Even before the arrival of Europeans to the Americas, the practice of taking captives was widespread among Native Americans. Indians took captives for many reasons: to replace--by adoption--tribal members who had been lost in battle, to use as barter for needed material goods, to use as slaves, or to use for reproductive purposes.

American and Latin-American Indians:
This brief informative guide to American, and Latin- American, Indians will save one much time and trouble when researching for reports or essays. I have covered as much as possible, with the intent of keeping it as brief as I possibly could. This brief guide covers much more than the American and Latin-American Indian tribes. you will learn; how they lived, the coming of the white man, Indian wars, language groups, brief biographies of Indian Chiefs and Army Commanders, Military Forts, the Pilgrims and Rangers, the Revolutionary War, the Westward Movement, and much more. After completing this book I have found it to be very informative, and much less time consuming, to say the least. Example: If you want to know how the Indians lived, simply turn to that page and you will begin learn about their food, transportation, housing, clothing, communication, family life, religion and ceremony, and government. There are also additional articles, such as: the Bison, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Indian Territory, History of the Stagecoach, Totem Pole, and Writings. I can only hope that you find this book as useful as I and several of my friends and family members have.
