By the editor and principal contributor of The Civil War Battlefield Guide, this book is an all-in-one guide to American Indian places, featuring illuminating essays from leading scholars on American Indians.

This historical guidebook includes 366 places that are significant to American Indians and open to the public. The book is organized geographically and includes location information, maps, and color photographs.

Frances H. Kennedy, the editor and principal contributor, has written short entries on more than one hundred of the places. More than 275 authorities who know and revere these places have written essays, including Suzan Shown Harjo, Frederick E. Hoxie, Clara Sue Kidwell, Rennard Strickland, and David Hurst Thomas.

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.
