Much less ambitious, more selective, anecdotal, and valuable in its own way than the Gale Almanac. This volume is recom- mended for middle and high school libraries and those desiring a general overview of Native life. Much of the material in this Alamanac consists of lists, addresses, etc., which have dated very badly. I disagree that it's a good high-school reference. The authors appear unfamiliar with contemporary Native art and literature.
Pictures are all black and white, poor quality reproductions.
Few maps, bad ones. The indexes are poor, do not appear to have been profssionally done, as a reference work requirs. No Native viewpoint is really represented, in contradistinction to the dozen or more native scholars involved in preparation of the Gale reference works. The slim volume is unattractive, as well as containing many inaccuracies and space-fillers. Not recommended for anyone.
