Who were the first people to call the southeastern United States home? Long before Europeans came to the region, American Indian nations lived off the rich and varied land. These peoples had different languages, governments, and cultures. Their traditions and heritage were shaped by the climate and terrain of the American Southeast.
  • The Caddo traveled in canoes made from the wood of cypress trees.
  • The Seminole wove baskets from sweetgrass and dyed them with berries, nuts, and roots.
  • The Cherokee danced with rattles made of turtle shell strapped to their legs in what is called a stomp dance. Twenty-first century American Indians still call the Southeast home. Find out what these groups have in common and what makes each nation unique.

        Gr 4-7-Content is focused (no overlong discussions of European and white settlers) and includes an examination of contemporary issues facing various nations. However, while charts, diagrams, and maps make an effort to showcase the individuality of each nation within a region, the books do occasionally generalize, and the repeated use of the past tense throughout the series may be confusing for readers ("Southwest Indian peoples were artistic."). In each title, an editor's note lists various consultants, some of whom are tribal members. Consider this series for its scope and to refresh collections.
