American Indians of the Southwest

Summary: University of New Mexico Press
Review: There are books that specialize and others that are extensive about the southwestern Indian cultures. This book is for the rest of us. It is a well laid out introduction of history and contemporary tribal affairs. We get coverage of arts and crafts. And it makes a perfect companion to Tony Hillerman books.
The book its self is separated into logical chapters on different subjects such as
1.Who an Where (physical Aspects of the American Indians)
2.The Pueblo Peoples (separate chapters on each)
3.The Athabascans
4.The Ute Indians
5.The Southern Paiute
6.The Rancheria Peoples
7.Arts and crafts

There are illustrations and monochrome pictures to support the text.
Also an extensive bibliography for those brave souls that really want to go into depth.
