This historical guidebook to American Indian places features illuminating essays and contributions from leading scholars.

It includes 366 places that are significant to American Indians and are open to the public. These include Ganondagan State Historic Site in New York, Kituhwa Mound in North Carolina, Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site in Illinois, Effigy Mounds National Monument in Iowa, Devils Tower National Monument in Wyoming, Chaco Culture National Historical Park in New Mexico, Navajo National Monument in Arizona, La Purísima Mission State Historic Park in California, and Nez Perce National Historical Park in Idaho.


More than 275 authorities who know and revere these places wrote essays, including Suzan Shown Harjo, Frederick E. Hoxie, Clara Sue Kidwell, Rennard Strickland, and David Hurst Thomas. Tribal culture committees and tribal historians have also contributed essays.


Frances H. Kennedy, editor and principal contributor, wrote short entries on more than one hundred of the places. Royalties will be donated to the National Museum of the American Indian. W. Richard West Jr., the museum's founding director, is the primary adviser to American Indian Places.
