Review:
"My students loved it. This work reveals both the outline and the intricacies of Native American culture as a lived experience, giving all of us, teachers and students, a sense of the distance between their culture and our own, but also an encounter with the humanity of many peoples who were
in a variety of ways not that different from us. This is a wonderful book, one that I will use for many years to come."--Jacquelyn C. Miller, Rutgers University
