Anthropology

The Second Edition of An Introduction to Native North America provides a basic introduction to the native peoples of North America, including both Eskimos and Indians.

Beginning with a discussion of the geography of North America, this text delves into the history of research, basic prehistory, the European invasion, and the impact of Europeans on Native cultures. A final chapter covers contemporary Native Americans, including issues of religion, health, and politics. Much of the book is also written from the perspective of the ethnographic present, and the various cultures are described as they were at the specific times noted in the text.

• Provides Internet resources for students to supplement reading material.

• Highlights important individuals in the “VIP Profile” mini-biographies.

• Includes examples of Native American views on several important current issues.

• Offers sections on geography, environment, prehistory, history, and ethnography in each chapter.

• Contains an extensive bibliography to aid students in their research.

• Entirely updated Chapter 10, “Native Peoples of the Plains” based on the newly published Plains Volume XIII of the Handbook of North American Indians.

• Additional photographs and a map of language families add even more visual appeal to this text.

• New sections at the end of each regional chapter (Chs. 3 -12) guide students to explore more contemporary issues and peoples.

• Each chapter has been thoroughly updated and all content fine-tuned, resulting in a very polished Second Edition.

• An Instructor's Manual/Test Bank is now available to supplement the text.
