Over the centuries the Indians of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and western Montana have adapted their lifeways to their region's radically different environments-an evolution that in some tribes continues to this day, as they conform to the demands of contemporary American society.

Library Journal Review

In this excursion into historical facts and figures about more than 150 native groups in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, the authors give a nutshell history of each group through the eyes of missionaries, explorers, and government officials. A companion volume to their Indians of the Pacific Northwest ( LJ 9/15/81), this is primarily useful for informaton on lesser-known tribes, 20th-century land-claim settlements, and the activities of today's tribal organizations. The information included goes beyond Frederick Hodge's classic Handbook of American Indians North of Mexico (1910; 1975. reprint) and John Swanton's The Indian Tribes of North America ( 1952; 1968. reprint). Recommended for public libraries in the Pacific Northwest. Mary B. Davis, Museum of the American Indian Lib., Bronx, New York (c) Copyright 2010.
