Books in The Library of Native Americans series

This title focuses on three unique cultures that lived during prehistoric times. The Adena, Hopewell, and Fort Ancient cultures lived in the Ohio region before written records of history were kept. Evidence of these cultures can be seen in the man-made mounds they built across the Middle Ohio Valley. Although scarce, the artifacts found within these mounds have helped archaeologists piece together the history of these cultures who lived so many years ago.

The Lenape lived in harmony with nature in different parts of the northeastern United States for many years. As European settlers established colonies in the 16s, the Lenape were introduced to new ideas and new ways of life—while facing the pressure of having to leave their homelands. Many Lenape were forced out of their native lands into the western United States and Canada. Known today as the Delaware and Munsee tribes, the Lenape who survive today work to keep their rich cultural traditions alive.
