Woodlands Indians Coloring Book

By: Copeland, Peter F.

Travel back in time to celebrate the culture and lifestyle of the North American woodlands Indians with this carefully researched and accurately rendered coloring book. Artist Pete Copeland has skillfully reconstructed 41 finely detailed scenes that span more than four centuries of tribal life. Here are realistic views of hunters of the Pequot and Massachuset tribes in the early 1600s, a Passamaquoddy man spearing fish (1604), Virginia Algonquians meeting Europeans (1635), a French missionary among the Illinois Indians (1735), Ottawa warriors of the 17th and 19th centuries and Penobscot basket weavers (1937). A number of other tribes are represented as well -- among them the Miami Kickapoo, Fox, Sauk, Winnebago, Shawnee, Menominee, and Western Delaware. An entertaining collection of ready-to-color drawings -- complete with fact-filled captions -- this book will not only intrigue anyone interested in Native American cultures but will also serve as an important classroom teaching tool.

Excellent illustrations!

These are very detailed drawings of different eastern tribes of the Americas. Tribes include Algonquian, Ottawa, Miami, Huron, Illinois, Kickapoo, Chipewa, Iroquois and others. There are 46 pages of drawings that show various aspects of Native American life from games to hunting and including a burial scene and native dress that spans four centuries- showing how the style of dress changed with the entrance of the Europeans. Each page has a short paragraph describing the life and culture of that particular tribe. My six year old loves these, but they would be great for anyone who loves to color. The detail would be excellent for 10 to 12 year olds who are learning about Native Americans and they would get more out of the different styles of dress than my son does. Wonderful as a learning tool to go along with a unit on Native Americans, or just because someone is interested.
