Sioux, Crow, Blackfoot, Pawnee, Apache, and Cheyenne tribes are depicted in Plains Indian Coloring Book by David Rickman, not the feather-bonneted, gun-toting, horseback-riding stereotype of Hollywood movie fame or Old West legend, but the real Plains Indians of North America portrayed honestly in the clothing they actually wore, in realistic settings, performing everyday task.
