When the first European explorers and settlers landed on the southeastern shores of North America, they encountered natives with the richest and most advanced levels of culture north of Mexico. Composed of such famous nations as the Creek, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Cherokee and Seminole, the native population also included lesser-known tribes, among them the Tunicas, Houmas and the Chitimachas-many of which are today extinct. Artist Peter Copeland documents the remarkable, and often tragic, history of these people in this carefully researched coloring book. Thirty-nine finely detailed illustrations depict ancient burial platforms, a town and religious center of the Mound Builders, sixteenthcentury Timucua warriors encountering Spanish explorers, South Carolina hunters using spear throwers, Natchez warriors of 1758, Choctaw ball players (1835), Seminole women preparing a meal, a modern Mikasuki Seminole alligator wrestler and more. Of great interest to young students of Native American history, this excellently rendered volume will thrill coloring book enthusiasts of all ages.
