A great source for Native American poetry

This book, organized by geography, is a good source of Native American songs and chants. The reader will gain insight into the Native American cultures represented herein through their songs and chants. Some are short, simplistic and straightforward in meaning. Others are long and filled with metaphor. Most of the songs and chants are about life events such as birth, marriage, death, traveling, and rituals.
