Apache

by Sarah Tieck

Informative, easy-to read text and oversized photographs draw in readers as they learn about the Apache. Traditional ways of life, including social structure, homes, food, art, clothing, and more are covered. A map highlights the tribe's homeland, while fun facts and a timeline with photos help break up the text. Also discussed is contact with Europeans and American settlers, as well as how the people keep their culture alive today. The book closes with a quote from a tribe leader. Readers are left with a deeper understanding of the Apache people. Table of contents, glossary, and index included. Aligned to Common Core standards and correlated to state standards. Big Buddy Books is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.

See review of Algonquin. Differences between the two books: mention of battles between the whites and the Natives; famous Apaches, such as Geronimo; and the push of the Apaches onto reservations. A timeline is included.
