. . . a fine introductory reference tool. The clearly written
straightforward text offers a comprehensive survey of the history,
traditions, contemporary life, economic conditions, geography, and
cultural organization of each tribe. Dutton included the major
divisions of Pueblo, Athabaskan, Ute, Paiute, and Rancheria
peoples, and is cognizant of their differences, as well as the ways
in which they have influenced each other. The maps, photographs,
and calendar of event would prove useful for those who plan to
visit the area, and the extensive bibliography is a good starting
point for further study.
There is virtually nothing comparable in quality.
This volume is a must for every library with any pretensions to a
Southwestern collection. Dr. Dutton knows her subject and loves it,
sharing that love with readers and making it easy for them to see
for themselves.
