As an illustration of modern Native American life, it effortlessly depicts politics, culture, and pride; as a first book it is a marvel."—Publishers Weekly "Sharply focused and rich in detail."—Robert Woltman, Albuquerque Journal "Robbins's ability to take the all-encompassing term Indian, once used to stereotype a myriad of peoples, and show it not as a limiting factor but as describing a larger brotherhood, is inspiring.

But Robbins has helpfully provided nearly 60 pages of detailed notes, along with useful lists of books, places and websites—a plethora of resources readily available to anyone willing to look beyond the popular culture's stereotypes of American Indians."
