Preface
One of the major goals of this fifth edition was to reorganize and expand the chapter on Contemporary Issues; add some new photos; correct errors; and update all of the other materials in the book, particularly the sections on prehistory. The recently published A Prehistory of North America (Sutton, 2010) is also organized by culture area and can serve as a companion volume to this edition of An Introduction to Native North America. An Instructor’s Manual and Test Bank are available to supplement this edition.
What’s New in This Edition?
●● Revised treatments of prehistory for each culture area
