II. Author Letter

Dear Colleague,

If you have been waiting for a complete, up-to-date, and engaging textbook about the Plains Indians I believe thatIndians of the Great Plains will meet your needs.

I’m sure you enjoy teaching college courses about Plains Indians as much as I do. The people and their traditions are so vibrant, so colourful, so intrinsically interesting to students. But I’m sure too that you share my frustration when trying to put together a suitably comprehensive and meaningful syllabus about these splendid cultures. There hasn’t been a comprehensive and current text.
