From the Author
This book is the result of over ten years of research. I have contacted numerous tribal historians, original documents, official archives, visited events sites and local historical societies. There are over 4,000 entries of specific historical events, many tribal name meanings and alternative tribal names, and lots of calendar information for different tribes. The book also has a comprehensive index. There are over 100 photos and illustrations. If you have enjoyed my website, you will love my book.
