That's because you hold in your hands a uniques, step-by-step resource for creating practical and artistic Native American ware.
Replicate the skills and crafts of a variety of tribes, including the Sioux, Apache, Ojibwa, Chippewa, Hopi, and the Navajo. Build snare traps, waterproof raw hide, master traditional beadwork, prepare food, make your own tools --- and do it easily.
Whether your're curious for a taste of real American traditions, an avid outdoorsman interested in survival methods, a naturalist in need of a simple-living guide, or a craftsperson looking for new projects, you'll find what you are looking for in this remarkable book.
