Native Ways

California Indian Stories and Memories

by Malcolm Margolin

This is the children's version of our popular title, The Way We Lived. With a rare warmth and familiarity, individual California Indian voices vividly describe various aspects of traditional and contemporary Indian life, including "growing up Indian", skills and arts, and recent history, in a clear, easy-to-read style. An extraordinary range of 80 photographs further enliven the text, and the index, map of Native California, and the listing of California Indian resources make "Native Ways" an invaluable reference.

"The most authentic resource I have yet seen on California Indians written for children". -- Bay Views (starred review)

"A message of acceptance and sharing shines from every page of this multi-layered compilation.... This is a remarkable book: balanced, informative, entertaining, and appealing". -- Kirkus Reviews
