Tribal Supplement lists tribal groups from the Map insert, "Indians of South America", where "Tribe" is a level of political organization cognizable to anthropology. Population figures estimated brom Wycliffe Bible Translators, Inc. Also, contains list of the Rulers of the Aztecs (1372-1525), Incas (1200-1572), and noting the absence of a dominant Maya city or ruler, and an Index.
Authors are reliable "translators" of the surviving native cultures of the Americas.
"In all the years of my show more travels among the Indians of South America, I have watched for signs of a pan-Indian conscience, of a yearning--political or even spiritual--for union and common cause among the communities and tribes and fragments of nations which still endure yet seldom seem aware of another's existence. I detect none." [Loren McIntyre 278]
Significant coverage of historical, quotidinal, and ceremonial events, with memorable photographs.
