The following books were
used to provide Indian Tribal Histories
The
Handbook of American Indians North of Mexico by Fredrick W.
Hodge, was compiled by some of the best and well known Indian
researchers of that time. Many of which wrote only about specific
tribes. The work began in 1873 and was submitted to the Bureau of
Ethnology for publication in 1905. There are approximately 2,500
tribes listed in the book, most of which you will find on our pages
listed as
Indian Tribal Histories or
Indian Bands, Gens and Clans
Because this book is so
extensive we have included other sections which we felt would be of
interest to our readers:
Indian History,
Indian Facts and Fallacies,
Indian Chiefs and Leaders,
Indian Reservations, and Indians of
Canada and Mexico (in progress).
Villages of the Algonquian, Siouan and Caddoan Tribes West of the
Mississippi by David Bushnell. Bushnell paints a vivid
picture of the homes, camps and travels of our Indian Ancestors.
The Aboriginal Races of North America by Samuel G. Drake,
provides the reader with an enumeration of the tribes known at that time
and endeavors to divide North America into certain districts, each which
include all Indians speaking the same or dialects of the same language.
The
Indian Tribes of North America, by John R. Swanton, the author
divides the United States by regions and places the many tribes in that
area. This work is not completely accurate and many of the tribes
moved in a wide area especially for hunting and winter camps.
