Indian Tribal Histories Abenaki-Awatobi

The following books were used to provide Indian Tribal Histories

The Handbook of American Indians North of Mexico by Fredrick W. Hodge, was compiled by some of the best and well known Indian researchers of that time.  Many of which wrote only about specific tribes.  The work began in 1873 and was submitted to the Bureau of Ethnology for publication in 1905.  There are approximately 2,500 tribes listed in the book, most of which you will find on our pages listed as Indian Tribal Histories or Indian Bands, Gens and Clans

Because this book is so extensive we have included other sections which we felt would be of interest to our readers: Indian History, Indian Facts and Fallacies, Indian Chiefs and Leaders, Indian Reservations, and Indians of Canada and Mexico (in progress).

Villages of the Algonquian, Siouan and Caddoan Tribes West of the Mississippi by David Bushnell.  Bushnell paints a vivid picture of the homes, camps and travels of our Indian Ancestors.

The Aboriginal Races of North America by Samuel G. Drake, provides the reader with an enumeration of the tribes known at that time and endeavors to divide North America into certain districts, each which include all Indians speaking the same or dialects of the same language.

The Indian Tribes of North America, by John R. Swanton, the author divides the United States by regions and places the many tribes in that area.  This work is not completely accurate and many of the tribes moved in a wide area especially for hunting and winter camps.
