First Peoples of the Americas

First peoples are the original people of a region. They have developed their own culture, traditions, laws and ways of life over thousands of years. Three groups of first peoples of the Americas are introduced in this intriguing book: Native Americans of the United States, Ashaninka of Peru, and Canada’s First Nations. First-hand accounts from elders in these cultures are presented and extracts from the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples assist understanding of how first people live and how their lifestyles are changing.
