1491

I'm halfway finished with this book, and highly recommend it as a comprehensive look at native populations in the Americas before Europeans invaded. The text is packed with background on these complex civilizations, and how truly early they arrived - or if they even "arrived" but rather "originated". American studies are often overlooked and rarely discussed, 1491 does a great job of filling this gap.
