Contemporary Shawnee Reading
CONTEMPORARY SHAWNEE READING USING INTERLIBRARY LOAN
A short list of selected references that will give you a working
knowledge of an exceptional group of native Americans.
All that is required is a library card from your local library.
Your librarian will locate the entry, order the publication (if not
in your library) and you will be notified when it arrives. No costs
are involved. This list is a compendium of things Shawnee. Each
entry will give the reader other references to pursue. Friends and
relatives who have an interest in the Shawnee may not have access to
the internet and these two pages can be printed and given or mailed
to others. They can call or take it to their librarian and obtain
these interesting books. LCCN = Library of Congress Control Number.
