Historian Wallace Stegner characterized America’s National Park system as “the best idea we ever had.” One can quibble with that, but, indeed, it was a pretty good idea! This book specifically is a guide and a celebration of 30 of those national parks, national historical parks, and national monuments that, each in its own way, reveals the histories and cultures of America’s first inhabitants, the Native Americans.
Its pages will take you to:
- great mounds in Ohio where the dead were laid to rest in sumptuous splendor 2,000 years ago
- a place in Iowa where 1,000 years ago, Native Americans sculpted earth into the forms of giant bears and birds
- a quarry in Minnesota where Native People have, for hundreds of years, extracted blood-red stone for their ceremonial pipes
- the remains of a village in North Dakota visited by Lewis and Clark in the early 1800s and the home of their guide Sacagewea
- truly breathtaking, more than 700-year-old cliff dwellings in Arizona and Colorado, that will astonish you in their ethereal beauty and architectural ingenuity
- phantasmagorical images of 7-foot-tall, wide-eyed spirit beings in Utah painted more than 1,000 years ago
- And many more.
With 180 color photographs and complete visitor information, this is a wonderful guide to Native American archaeology in our national parks and monuments.
