Native Peoples of the Southwest Amy Hayes

The Apache, Navajo, and Pueblo peoples are often part of the social studies curriculum. However, they aren't the only native groups that come from the American southwest! Readers are introduced to some of the largest groups of native peoples in the southwest while learning about the main ways native peoples lived, ate, and dressed in this region. Complemented by full-color photographs, historical images, and fun fact boxes, the main content includes the traditional culture of the groups who lived in parts of the states of Colorado, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and California, in addition to northern Mexico.
