Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
American Indian Biographies consists of 391 alphabetically arranged essays containing biographical sketches on figures in North American Indian history, extending from the arrival of European colonists on North American shores to the early 21st century. American Indian Biographies examines the lives of those American Indians who are the most widely studied in secondary schools, colleges, and universities. Profiled here are historical, religious, social, and political leaders, warriors, and reformers, as well as contemporary activists, writers, artists, entertainers, scientists, and athletes.
Essays originally appeared in American Indian biographies (1999), Dictionary of world biography, Great lives from history: the Renaissance & early modern era, 1454-1600 (2005), and American ethnic writers (2000). New material has been added.
