What are some good books about native americans? I'll take fiction or non-fiction doesn't matter as long as its a good read.
Native Americans
I've read 1491 and 1493, which I can recommend. I've also read James Maffie's book on Aztec philosophy.
On my reading list are:
- How It Is: The Native American Philosophy of V. F. Cordova
- The Dance of Person and Place: One Interpretation of American Indian Philosophy
- Aztec Thought and Culture: A Study of the Ancient Nahuatl Mind
Empire of the Summer Moon is excellent. I really enjoyed A Sorrow in Our Hearts, a biography about the great Shawnee leader Tecumseh. Much of it is speculative but it's still very good.
If you are interested in inuit-aleut cultures I highly recommend pic related.
100% serious here. guy does some serious research for his work.
