Editorial Reviews
Review

"Fowler challenges stereotypical images [of Indians] by illuminating the diversity of cultures that have existed in this region over a 16,000-year period... highly recommended." -- Library Journal (starred review)

"This third volume in a series of six by Columbia University is an exceptionally concise, scholarly, and very inclusive historical look into the changes that took place in the 'traditional' Plains Indian cultures.... Highly recommended." -- Choice

"A well-formed baseline of knowledge about the Great Plains people, which... evidences the valuable contribution of Fowler's work." -- Jacki Rand, The Annals of Iowa

Review
A remarkable overview of this vast and complicated region. Reading Fowler's guide is like receiving a private briefing from a master teacher. She summarizes masses of information from archaeologists, historians, cultural anthropologists, and geographers. This book will be an essential tool for anyone interested in exploring the context of Native American life on the Great Plains.
