A chronological history of Native America from 200,000 B.C. to the present offers a revised look at American history and traces year-by-year events in four categories--History and Politics; Literature, Art, and Legend; Heroes and Leaders; and Philosophy. Francis, national director of Wordcraft Circle of Native Writers and Storytellers, presents a revised look at how American history actually took place. Designed in the grid format, his volume traces a year-by-year history of Native Americans in four categories: history, law, and politics; literature, art, legend, and stories; heros, leaders, and victims; and elder wisdom, philosophy, and songs. The time line begins in the year 200,000 B.C.E., when Native American civilizations flourished prior to the arrival of Columbus, and ends up almost in the present day. Reminiscent of Bernard Grun's The Timetables of History (S. & S., 1987), this highly illustrated volume is useful as a handy ready-reference guide to the history of Native Americans.
