Long before Europeans came to the harsh landscape of the Great Basin, many nations of American Indians lived in the region. They had their own languages and cultures, and they knew how to survive in an area with extreme weather and little food.
  • The Shoshone made powerful bows that could shoot an arrow through a bison.
  • The Paiute created duck decoys from reeds to help them hunt birds.
  • The Washoe weaved baskets from reeds and willow. The Great Basin is still home to many twenty-first century American Indians. They continue to weave baskets, hold traditional celebrations, and speak their native languages. Learn more about the past and present of the native peoples of the Great Basin.

        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.
