Reading Level: 6
Interest Level: 6-8
North America has been inhabited by communities since before recorded
history. Some of the oldest communities are now today known as Native American
nations, or tribes. This series takes a close look at the tribes that have
influenced North America. From the Navajo to the Arapaho, these tribes continue
to have great influence on Native American history and current Native
American lifestyles. Despite facing hardship and sorrow, these Native
people have survived centuries and have passed down their beliefs, traditions,
and practices for generations. This series celebrates each Native nation and
aspires to educate others about the First Peoples of North America.
