)
13 editions published between 1990 and 1998 in English and held by 970 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
From the Northwest Territories of Canada as far southeast as Virginia in the United States, tree bark became indispensable to the everyday life of Native peoples. Simple to cut, light to carry, easy to work with, it was used for food, containers, clothing, and canoes. But nothing showed their skill, inventiveness, and ingenuity of the woodland Indians as dramatically as the ways bark was used to make shelters
