Indigenous Peoples of North America: A Concise Anthropological Overview
Muckle's volume serves as a basic, primer-like introduction to the Indigenous peoples of North America, the academic study of these people, and some of the issues that contemporary Indigenous populations face. As such, it is a good starting point for educating the general public about the people who were here prior to colonization. Used in conjunction with ethnographies, case studies, or a reader dealing with specific Indigenous cultures, it is a useful tool for instructors and students in a variety of disciplines.
