These books take a close look at rich traditions that helped shape the lives of American Indians in the past and into the present. "The Inuit: Ivory Carvers of the Far North": Inside their igloo, an Intuit family stays warm with thick fur clothing and blankets. Outside, the wind blows. Even though it is the middle of the day, the moon hangs in the sky. The family will not see the sun for several weeks. Until spring, only the moonlight and stars will light the icy land. To pass time, the Inuit family begins to carve shapes out of ivory.
