"For most Americans, the term 'Indians' conjures up images of mounted warriors, bedecked in feathered splendor, galloping across the Plains. Indeed, stereotypes of 'Indian chiefs' and 'doeskin clad maidens' are so much a part of the accepted stereotype of American Indians, that modern Indian people, especially when they are catering to the tourist trade, often adopt such caricatures. Like most other stereotypes, this romanticized depiction of the 'noble savage' does have some basis in historical fact, but such a two-dimensional image fails to encompass the rich diversity and adaptability of the many tribal peoples who live in the United States." ----- from the Foreword.
