The Indian hunters : hunting and fishing methods of the North American natives / R. Stephen Irwin.

Irwin, R. Stephen. (Author).

Summary:

"Shiver as the Eskimo waits beside a breathing hole for a ringed seal. Marvel at the migration of vast caribou herds across the tundra. Breathe the dust when the Plains Indians drive buffalo into an impoundment. Balance on a catwalk over a roaring river to net salmon with Salish Indians. Slip silently through eastern forests on a deer trail. THE PROVIDERS will take you into the lives of the first North American hunters, where you will learn of their ingenious hunting, fishing, and trapping methods."--Publisher.
