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.
