This book is a compendium of tribal names in all their variantsfrom North, Central and South Americacollected from printed sources. Because most of these original sources reproduced words that had been encountered only orally, there is a great deal of variation.
Organized alphabetically, this book collates these variations, traces them to the spellings and forms that have become standardized, and supplies see and see also references. Each main entry includes tribal name, the "parent group" or ancestral tribe, original source for the tribal name, and approximate location of the name in the original source material.
