Index, with this particular feature: Look up the name of any one of the 50 States and find a LIST of the tribes in that region.

Provides cultural information, population, "History", and where the tribe and its neighbors believed they came from. Little or no "pre-history" or archeology. (For example, that the siksik (blackfeet) once raised corn but reverted to buffalo hunting and within a very few generations no longer had a cultural memory of agriculture.)

Contains a large placement map.
