Excellent Resource for Native American Skills

This is a very thorough, extensive book, covering nearly all aspects of Native American Living and Skills, I have yet to come across another book that is filled with such PRACTICAL information relating to wilderness survival skills as practiced by the Indian tribes of North America. I find that the author goes as in-depth as possible to explain how to apply the skills practically and efficiently, and easily. Peter Goodchild includes well-drawn sketches in most of the chapters, to go along with the written information on exactly how the skills are and were performed. This is the kind of book that I would recommend for someone serious about wilderness living, and/or someone wanting to easily learn the most practical native skills that were used for everyday life in the bush. In conclusion, this book is highly reccomended!
