Grades 4-6. Reviewed by Helen Norrie. Volume 12 Number 3 1984 May Each of these four booklets contains concise, well-illustrated information on one of the regional groups of native people. Ekahotan describes the Indians of the Eastern Woodlands; Mistatin, Indians of the Plains; Ochechak, Indians of the Sub-Arctic, and Oyai, Indians of the North Pacific Coast. Each book begins with a map, indicating where these tribes lived, plus a one-page summary of characteristics of the area, its climatic conditions, and highlights of its history as related to native people. Sections follow on clothes, shelters, sharing the work, gathering or hunting food, preparing food, the community, travel and transportation, artisans, and beliefs. Each section generally has one page of print plus a full page of colour illustration. Print is large and clear with plenty of sub-headings, making it suitable for grades 3 and up. Most of the illustrations are coloured photographs of artifacts in the Royal Ontario Museum collection and are appropriate and attractive. A centre section of each booklet called "Insights," provides additional information, black-and-white pictures, and a legend of that particular tribe or region. This is the only part of the booklets that do not match the handsome format of the rest of the pages, and, while the extra information is good, one wonders why it was not incorporated into the regular format of the text. If the publishers were trying to save money, perhaps fewer coloured pictures in the other pages could have allowed some colour here. Each book ends with a section on "Today": a brief summary of what is happening in the area now, plus a glossary of unfamiliar words. I would highly recommend these books for elementary libraries for social studies research by students in grades 4 to 6. Helen Nome, Queenston P. S., Winnipeg, MB.
