The Native Americans had lived on this continent for thousands of years, occupying regions from arctic to tropical and from mountain pastures to deserts and, by necessity, had adopted different habitats and lifestyles. This diversity was reflected in attitudes to warfare and the ideal of the warrior. This book skillfully and thoroughly examines these attitudes, and their effect upon indigenous warfare. Warriors further reveals the conviction that warfare was considered by some to be a sacred activity, that gods and deities were in evidence and played a critical role in protecting and inspiring individual warriors. Outstanding early artifacts, photographs, drawing and paintings from notable museums, many of them being shown together in a book for the first time.
