The following are what I consider to be some worthwhile publications I have read over the years, concerning historical or contemporary cultures of the Plains Tribes and Nations.
While there are a just few of the books I did not care for, either because of the author's attitude at the time it was written, or because of some inaccuracies, I still feel they are worth reading, in order to give the reader a broader perspective.
There are other books on the list, in my opinion, that no library should be without.
Lastly, in the instances when a certain book has has multiple printings, I have tried to list the original printing date.
