For Immediate Release: October 3, 1966

The Bureau of Indian Affairs has prepared a 13-booklet series suitable for use by classroom teachers, youth groups and others interested in the story of the American Indian.

The illustrated publications describe the culture and eventful history of tribes whose past is linked with various States or regions of the country. The reader is brought up to date with facts about Indian life today and the Federal programs that serve reservation dwellers.

Ten booklets now available deal with the Indians, Eskimos and Aleuts of Alaska; the Indians of Arizona; California; the Dakotas; the Gulf Coast States; Montana and Wyoming; New Mexico; North Carolina; the Northwest; and Oklahoma.

Three remaining booklets, soon to come off the press, will discuss Indian tribes of the Central Plains; the Great Lakes; and the Lower Plateau areas of the United States.

Publications may be purchased at 15 cents a copy from the Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. 20402. A discount of 25 percent is allowed on quantity orders of 100 or more, if mailed to one address.
