It is a charming narrative, as accessible to twelve-year-olds as to us ancients. For one realizes soon enough that the authors know exactly what they are doing: telling the truth about the archeology and the traditions of Louisiana Indians.\" Walker Percy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLouisiana Indian Tales vividly recreates the struggles and triumphs of the state's first inhabitants. Dating back to 10,000 b.c. when the Paleo-Indians occupied the area and huge woolly mammoths and mastodons roamed the land, these poignant stories are based on archaeological evidence and historical knowledge traced through modern-day findings. As archaeologist Dr. Ben Dominique and his young friends Richard and Rob soon discover while on an expedition in the first story, Louisiana is a state rich in Indian culture. Together the trio unearth the proud, industrious, and resourceful life-styles of the many cultures that contributed to this state's fascinating history. The tales in this collection for young readers focus on many tribes from around the state-the Tchefuncte, Choctaw, Chitimacha, Caddo, Houma, and Bayougoula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alice Couvillon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51801503891752,"sku":"9780882897561","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/0138\/5256\/files\/9780882897561.jpg?v=1778212330","url":"https:\/\/www.arcadiapublishing.com\/products\/louisiana-indian-tales-9780882897561","provider":"Arcadia Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
