Summary: Excellent resource in Native American History
Review: This book was a major eye opener for me on the idea of "Indian" history. Like many Americans, you think of Indians in the historical context - war paint, horses, and feathers. Do you want to think again? Read Micael Dorris' essay "Indians on the Shelf".This book challenges any pre-conceived notions. I found it enjoyable as well as humbling. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to think again - think again about history and the part Native Americans played in it. And the trouble white historians have had when dealing with them. Many of the essays are written by Native Americans about themselves and the trouble history has in addressing their part in it.
