Organized alphabetically, these succinct profiles include not only the chiefs and war leaders, but the traders, prophets, religious leaders, statesmen, artists, photographers, medicine men an women, scholars, and educators that have helped to shape and mold the spectrum and variety of Native American cultures. This outstanding edition is enhanced with expanded subject indexes, a bibliography/reading list, and a new general index.
