  What was the daily life of the Native Americans on the Great Plains like? How did these nomadic people find their guardian spirit? Why was touching an enemy seen as more daring a deed than capturing or killing him. This book, which is one of a series answers these and many more questions and is illustrated with the famous watercolours by the Swiss painter Karl Bodmer, who travelled through North America from 1832 to 1834. With pencil and watercolour he drew chieftains and medicine men , dancers and warriors, women and children.
