Native American Tribes - Billy Wellman - Bog

Do you know the story of the Native American tribes, from the earliest known histories to the first European contact to the modern day?

The "Five Civilized Tribes" tried to adapt to the American way of life, while others fought to keep their land. Which was more successful? This book will attempt to tell their story, the story of those five tribes. It will not go back into the distant past, and it will not be able to cover modern issues within the Native American community. But it will tell the story of how a group of people dealt with a world that had suddenly and drastically changed-and continued to change-and how they dealt with these changes as Native Americans.

In this book, you'll learn about:
