From the “Trail of Tears” to Wounded Knee and Little Bighorn, the narrative of American history is incomplete without the inclusion of the Native Americans that lived on the continent before European settlers arrived in the 16th and 17th centuries. Since the first contact between natives and settlers, tribes like the Sioux, Cherokee, and Navajo have both fascinated and perplexed outsiders with their history, language, and culture. In Charles River Editors’ Native American Tribes series, readers can get caught up to speed on the history and culture of North America’s most famous native tribes in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known.
One of the most influential Native American tribes on the Great Plains was the Arapaho, a group so renowned among neighboring Native Americans that it’s believed their name came from a Pawnee word for “trader. Like other notable Plains tribes, the Arapaho split off from other groups around the 16th-17th centuries and shifted from a sedentary agricultural society to the kind of nomadic group many envision when thinking of groups on the Plains. That nomadic lifestyle brought them into contact with the Sioux and Cheyenne, both of whom became allies as white settlers pushed west and led to conflicts.
The United States sought to defuse tensions with natives during the westward push by drafting treaties regarding major pieces of land, often without understanding the complex structure of the various tribes, and subgroups within those tribes. Most notably, the Arapaho were victims of the Sand Creek Massacre in 1864, an action considered so heinous that the leader of the attack, Colonel John Chivington, was actually relieved of command after it. Ultimately, the Arapaho were forced onto reservations alongside the Shoshone, one of the tribes Lewis and Clark encountered on their historic expedition in the early 19th century. Today, they are jointly recognized with the Cheyenne, a group they were closely associated with for centuries.
Native American Tribes The History and Culture of the Arapaho comprehensively covers the culture and history of the famous group, profiling their origins, their history, and their lasting legacy. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the Arapaho like you never have before, in no time at all.

Native American Tribes The History and Culture of the Arapaho eBook Charles River Editors Reviews
Not a page turner, this is for our education not a work of fiction. Read and learn, then pass this on.
extremly good matter of factt book.
easy to read and easy to understand
if you have any interest in native american history, then this is a fantastic addition to your collection. the mythological story of how men and women met is priceless...please release other histories such as this!!!
Great addition to my library
This was very disappointing purchase. The History and Culture of the Arapahoe is little more than a pamphlet. The information is simplistic and superficial.
A decent overview of the Arapaho. It does, however, contain one startling inaccuracy. The book states the Battle of Washita took place near Cheyenne, Wyoming. The battle was fought along the Washita River in Oklahoma, not Wyoming.
very good reading.+++++
infor quite well researched..
