Rem | 80 comments This was a book I bought from Barnes and Noble back between 2009 and 2010. I think it was focused on North American Native Americans. It was fairly small, but covered a wide variety of topics, and included maps, charts, photos, artifacts, and stories. I really enjoyed this book and there was a helpful bibliography at the end of it as well. It had a section covering Native American spirituality, including the Ghost dance and the Native American Church, I believe.

A few suggestions:
Indian Nations of North America
Spirits of the Earth: A Guide to Native American Nature Symbols, Stories, and Ceremonies
Encyclopedia of Native American Tribes

Not sure if this is what you were looking for, but, based on your description, it seems like it was an encyclopedia of sorts, albeit a small one.

``Laurie (laurielynette) 500 Nations An Illustrated History of North American Indians by Alvin M. Josephy Jr.

500 Nations: An Illustrated History of North American Indians is another book that fits your description. There was also a TV documentary based on this book.
