North American Indians of the Plains, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Description

Excerpt from North American Indians of the Plains, Vol. 1
The Museum exhibits for the various tribes are arranged in approximate geographical order, beginning with the Plains-Cree of the north and proceeding with the typical nomadic tribes (p. 14). In the north-western part of the hall are the Shoshoni, Ute, and Nez Perce, whose culture is intermediate between that of the Plains and Plateau Area. In the northeastern section are the Mandan, Hidatsa, and other village tribes, also manifesting an intermediate culture between the Plains and that of the Woodlands to the east.
The Woodland hall to the east and the Southwest hall to the north, are so arranged as to bring the intermediate tribes of each region near the entrance to the Plains Indian hall. Thus, from case to case, one may follow changes in culture from the Atlantic Coast to the Colorado River and the Gulf of California.
