AMERICAN STUDIES

NAT I VE AMER I CAN L I FE

When studying the indigenous peoples of North, Central, & South America, it is important to understand that Native American cultures are highly diverse. With more than 500 Native American nations & 300 different language groups, there are few universal characteristics that apply across tribal boundaries. Traditions, ceremonies, sports, games, dance, subsistence patterns, clothing, and religion often differed greatly from tribe to tribe. The Native American Life series has been written to dispel many of the myths and stereotypes about Native American history and traditions, and to provide a more accurate and encompassing journey into the world of Native Americans.
