Nations Within a Nation: Historical Statistics of American Indians
Paul Stuart
As a compendium of historical statistics on native American tribes, Nations will fill a unique niche in most academic and large public libraries with reference or research interests in North American Indian affairs. Drawing upon a wide variety of government documents (mostly federal) and scholarly reports, as cited in his extensive bibliography, Stuart’s contribution will appeal to anyone who seeks demographic or economic data about Indians, past or present… . Nations is a well-crafted, balanced, convenient tool for reference work and will prove useful to many libraries, scholars, policymakers, and tribal groups.
