Villages of the Algonquian, Siouan, and Caddoan Tribes West of the Mississippi

** "Villages of the Algonquian, Siouan, and Caddoan Tribes West of the Mississippi" by David I. (David Ives) Bushnell, Jr. is a historical study of several Native American tribes living west of the Mississippi at the turn of the 20th Century. Across a massive territory from southern Arkansas to Canada, these tribes, including Algonquian, Siouan, and Caddoan groups, shaped their lives around the movement and habits of the buffalo. The villages, customs, and environment of these people are examined, revealing a way of life tied to the hunt and dependent on the great herds that once defined the American landscape, before modern disruption altered their world forever. **
