Book Review: American Indian: Celebrating the Voices, Traditions and Wisdom of Native Americans

American Indian: Celebrating the Voices, Traditions and Wisdom of Native Americans, edited by Ashley Kircher, Weldonowen, San Francisco, 2012.

This is a fascinating book.  It is large size with many pictures and artwork.  But it is also organized well.  Each chapter has a different author.  From this book I learn that the three sisters are squash, beans and corn.  The book enlightens the viewer, reader to many customs of Native Americans.  The art is portrayed throughout the book, from things made to be used like basketry and pottery and musical instruments.  Dance and son are portrayed beautifully.  This is a book to own.
