DICTIONARY OF DAILY LIFE OF INDIAN OF THE AMERICAS contains information on the customs, ways, ceremonies, tribal languages, cultural characteristics, weapons, food, drink, clothing, myths, legends, and many, many more articles. From the Aleuts of the Arctic region to Onas in southern Argentina and Chile, this is a contemporary work and its intention is to bring modern day insights to the consideration of the native peoples who populate the western hemisphere. 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 entries were written by noted local, national and international historians and anthropologists.

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. This is a contemporary work and its intention is to bring modern day insights to the consideration of the native peoples who populate the western hemisphere. 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.

Clyde Warrior was a Ponca who helped propel the American Indian rights movement in the 1960s. Richard (Skip) Hayward was the Pequot most responsible for starting Foxwoods, the world's largest casino. Chickasaw John Herrington was the first Native American astronaut. Now there's a place to meet them all---and many other noteworthy Native Americans, including Navajo poet Laura Tohe and Luiseno performance artist James Luna. --
