First People tells the story of American Indians—from their arrival on the continent 10,000 years ago to their
search for identity in the modern world. Avoiding standard clichés and easy generalizations, the book presents each
tribe as an individual, evolving culture, with its own history, artwork, and traditions. With a wealth of modern and
historic images, innovative page layouts, and compelling first-person accounts, this is an eye-opening look at the
richness and variety of North American tribes, and a moving account of the European conquest.
