This book tells about several kinds of Indians who have lived or still live in the southwestern part of the United States - The Pueblo Indians, the Navahos, the Comanches, the Apaches, and the Pawnees.
Early Spanish explorers called all the different tribes that they found living in groups of stone or dried-mud houses Pueblo Indians. Pueblo is a Spanish world meaning "village." Today all Pueblo Indian villages are called "Pueblos." The home of the Pueblo Indians is in the semi-desert country southwest of the Rocky Mountains.
The warlike Navahos, Comanches, and Apaches were wandering hunters who followed the buffalo herds across the prairie, taking their families with them. The Pawnees also hunted the buffalo, but they were more settled in their habits, for they came back to their homes at the end of the hunting season, and grew grain and vegetables. The oil painting produced on the cover of this book was made from a photograph of Chief Lone Bear of the Pawnees.
