Native Americans State by State by Rick Sapp

Native Americans State by State by Rick Sapp , let me tell you this, is a stunning, impressive, detailed beautiful work about all the Native Americans tribes present in the various States of the USA, seen and analyzed thanks to their story, and also the ones present in Canada, Inuit and Métis.
Wonderful illustrations, this book is colored, plenty of maps, I tell you that this one is a great gift for someone passionate of history and of American History.

Native Americans experienced a sad destiny although they are still resisting, affirming with pride their beautiful traditions; we mustn't never forget that they were the real citizens of the USA and Canada when the so-called white man arrived to America in 1492. They were decimated, mainly for a sad story of monopoly regarding their lands.
To Native Americans emigrating from a place to another one meant to them the complete lost of their origins; abandoning their lands meant to them abandoning their dead ones, their traditions, their customs. They lived symbiotically with their land, sacred.
No sure when I fell in love for Native Americans but their profound culture is still resonating in our confusing Western civilization and it speaks of nature, it speaks of a healthy confrontation with our environment; of beauty, of respect for every creature.

Highly Recommended.

I thank NetGalley for the ebook.
