Discover the diversity of Indian tribes living in the Southwest. Historian Bernard Fontana explores the distinctive cultures of this region, explaining various reservation and tribal activities available to the public with an insider's knowledge of culture and etiquette. Hiking, birding, horseback riding, boating, and fishing--along with many other recreational pastimes and cultural celebrations--are profiled in A Guide to Contemporary Southwest Indians. More than 100 color photographs celebrate the beautiful area these people call home.
Scholars have long worked to identify the names of tribes and other groupings in the Americas, a task made difficult by the sheer number of indigenous groups and the many names that have been passed down only through oral tradition. This book is a compendium of tribal names in all their variants--from North, Central and South America--collected from printed sources. Because most of these original sources reproduced words that had been encountered only orally, there is a great deal of variation. Organized alphabetically, this book collates these variations, traces them to the spellings and forms that have become standardized, and supplies see and see also references. Each main entry includes tribal name, the "parent group" or ancestral tribe, original source for the tribal name, and approximate location of the name in the original source material.
