‘Native Americans State by State’ (ISBN: 978-0-7858-3587-5) by author Rick Sapp is brand-new, still in publisher’s shrink-wrap. It is an excellent reference work that covers the history of the tribes, from earliest times till today, examining the early pre-Columbian civilizations, the movements of the tribes after the arrival of European colonists and their expansion westwards, and the reanimation of Indian culture and political power in recent years. It covers the area from the Canadian Arctic to the Rio Grande—and the wide range of cultural differences and diverse lifestyles that exist. It’s illustrated with regional maps and a portfolio of paintings, photographs, and artwork. it provides a dramatic introduction not only to the history of the 400 main tribes, but to the huge range of American Indian material culture. It retails on Amazon for almost $40, a half-price bargain here. It’s available for local pick-up in San Rafael, cash, Venmo, or PayPal.
