Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Careful research combines well-written text and striking images to interest readers in the history and culture of the Cree. Its discussion of Cree history allows readers to view everything from the prehistoric time through the issues the Crees face today. The book examines the Western Woods Crees and the Plains Crees, and explores the impact of European traders, missionaries, and settlers on Cree life. The volume also looks at the traditional cultures of the two Cree groups, including arts, government, religion, and daily life. A timeline offers a history of the Crees at a glance, and additional resources and suggested activities invite readers to delve even deeper into Cree history and culture.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 44-45) and index.
