The Shawnee (Indigenous Peoples of North America)

Review
VOYA : "Every heavily-illustrated book in the series includes similar chapters on family life, spirituality, interactions with white men and the environment, and existence in today's world. All include histories of broken treaties, inhumane conditions, and restrictive, poverty-ridden reservations. Nevertheless, each has a unique story to tell. All books in the series are attractive, affordable, and written on a level appropriate for upper elementary to high school. The photos and interesting sidenotes complement well-written text."
-- VOYA (June 2001)
School Library Journal : "This is a useful resource for classrooms studying American history and native peoples."

Book Description
The Shawnee Indians built a rich and fascinating culture while living for centuries in the woodlands of the Midwest and Southeast. However, encroachments by white settlers slowly pushed them out of their territories. Their great chief Tecumseh nearly made history with his hopes of an Indian coalition. But the dream of Indian unity ended with his death on the battlefield, and his people were forced to move west where they reside today, in Oklahoma.
