The Native American

Conquered & dispossesed, the first Americans have long been hidden behind a veil of myths & legends. As a result, the richness & diversity of Indian civilizations & culture have been kept from us --- until now! This astonishing legacy represents an unparalleled body of wisdom that provides fresh perspectives on modern problems. The reality of Indian history, unfolded here from the perspective of native Americans, will enhance our understanding of ourselves as Americans. The first project in a year-long initiative devoted to American Indians by Turner Broadcasting, NATIVE AMERICANS: AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY is the comprehensive story of many diverse native American cultures. It also serves as a companion piece to the TNT series. Spanning thousands of years, from the time man first set foot on this continent, & written by five well-known authorities on Indian history & culture, this volume is lavishly illustrated with maps, photos, & works by both historic & contemporary artists.
