After graduating from Hunter College in 1933, she married Herbert Zim. (Another author we have enjoyed.) When her sons were young she couldn't find any books about Native Americans for their age level -- so she wrote her own. Bleeker's American Indian Tribes Series is one of my oldest daughter's favorite series of books. She has read almost all of them and is able to describe Native American life in great detail. I've even found her making lists of things she would need to live on the land like an Indian! These are just the right size for the older elementary kids to hold or stick into a backpack. They have large print and simple line drawings and maps. "The Nez Perce Indians were unique in many ways. Miss Bleeker's story of young Spotted Salmon points out the differences between his tribe and the others of the Northwest. The 8-to-12 reader will enjoy this one and learn something of Indian relations in the early days of American expansion." --Charlotte News List of titles by Sonia Bleeker: Books about Native Americans and other indigenous people: Apache Indians, The: Raiders of the Southwest Ashanti of Ghana, The Aztec, The: Indians of Mexico Cherokee, The: Indians of the Mountains Chippewa Indians, The: Rice Gatherers of the Great Lakes Crow Indians,The: Hunters of the Northern Plains Delaware Indians, The: Eastern Fishermen & Farmers Eskimo, The: Arctic Hunters and Trappers Horsemen of the Western Plateau: The Nez Perce Indians Ibo of Biafra , The Inca, The: Indians of the Andes Indians of the Longhouse: The Story of the Iroquois Masai, The: Herders of East Africa Maya, The: Indians of Central America Mission Indians of California, The Navajo, The: Herders, Weavers & Silversmiths Pueblo Indians, The: Farmers of the Rio Grande Pygmies of Africa, The: Africans of the Congo Forest Sea Hunters, The: Indians of the Northwest Coast Seminole Indians, The Sioux Indians, The: Hunters & Warriors of the Plains Tuareg, The: Nomads & Warriors of the Sahara Zulu of South Africa, The: Cattlemen, Farmers, & Warriors Other: Golden Book of Bird Stamps, The Golden Playbook of Indian Stamps, The Indians Life and Death (co-authored with Herbert Zim) Mexico: A Regional Guide Home Last Updated: October 3, 2003 Website created by Lauren Tatum
