Publisher's Note
The Encyclopedia of Native American Biography examines the lives of diverse Native Americans - writers and warriors, explorers and religious leaders, legislators and athletes, historical and contemporary figures alike - giving readers a privileged look at numerous Native cultures in their own terms and from their own perspectives. Here you'll find familiar names, such as: the famous fighters Geronimo and Tecumseh, the near-mythological Hiawatha and Pocahontas, the explorer Sacajawea, the statesmen Chief Joseph and Powhatan, and contemporary figures Louise Erdrich, Russell Means, and Leonard Peltier. You'll also discover the critically important, fascinating, but little-known figures like Deganawidah, the founder of the Iroquois Confederacy; Cornplanter, an Iroquois leader and close friend of George Washington; Plenty Coups, the Crow leader so revered that when he died, the Crow Council members refused to name another principal chief in his place; and Susan LaFlesche, the first Native American woman doctor who literally worked herself to death for her people. Also included are non-Indians who played important roles in Native American history.

Industry Reviews
"Pocahontas, Geronimo, Sitting Bull, Sacajawea, Crazy Horse: They Mingle, in the pages of this encyclopedia, with a multitude of lesser-known but significant or interesting figures, who date from before Europeans arrived to the present day....Also included are non-Indians who had a significant impact, positive or negative, on Native American life, from Revolutionary pamphleteer Thomas Paine (who was fascinated by native societies and drew examples from them for his writings. to the infamous General George Armstrong Custer."
