Описание«This new edition of the «Encyclopedia of Native Tribes of North America» is revised and expanded, including newly commissioned color plates, an extended and illustrated glossary, an appendix that covers major museum and cultural exhibits, and updated census information for both the U.S. and Canada. Respected researcher Michael G. Johnson meticulously details every aspect of each tribe’s history, arts, crafts, and material culture. His clear and detailed text is complemented by hundreds of stunning illustrations and photos, both archival and current. Far removed from the oversimplifications and stereotypes of the “noble savage”, the «Encyclopedia of Native Tribes of North America» is a testament to the history and cultural significance of North America’s native populations. With a wealth of information and a rich collection of images, it is truly a feast for both the mind and the eyes. This remarkably thorough and beautifully illustrated encyclopedia provides a complete reference to all of North America’s native populations and covers ten distinct regions. The Encyclopedia of Native Tribes of North America includes: • A comprehensive classification of native languages; • Detailed color maps that show the distribution of each culture; • A thorough history of each tribe and its affiliations; and • Hundreds of specially commissioned illustrations that demonstrate tribal dress, art, crafts, and daily life, past and present. This new edition features numerous updates based on the latest scholarship, an expanded and illustrated glossary, an appendix that covers major museum and cultural exhibits, and updated census information for both the USA and America.»
