Wonderful reference guide!

This is a wonderful book to pick if you are looking for a great selection of symbols, from a variety of tribes and regions. The pictures are intricate and rich in detail. Included next to each symbol are an explanation, a story, or legend for a more informative reading. There is also a section on totem animals with a brief explanation on how to find your own totems. And in case you don't know which particular region a tribe is from, the author has included a rough map in the back for this purpose. I would also recommend "Authentic Indian Designs", edited by Maria Naylor.
