Reviews
"Lowie's Indians of the Plains remains unsurpassed as a brief, detailed, and suggestive overview of the subject. It still serves as an excellent introduction to that vast body of information collected or assembled by anthropologists for understanding past cultures of Plains Indian peoples."-Raymond J. DeMallie -- Raymond J. DeMallie
