I like how this book is organized to be a ready reference to common questions people have. I knew a majority of the facts in this book, so I found the kinds of questions that people have asked the author and other indigenous people are truly outrageous. It is awful that widespread ignorance necessitates a book like this, but I'm glad it exists for those who need it.
There were times in the book where I felt the author was engaging in respectability politics, for example, when he uses the phrase "culture of poverty."

An interesting guide to learning about Indians. I appreciate the lengthy list of resources in the back of the book.
ceegee's review against another edition
I’m interested in the subject matter, but this presentation was tedious and hard to engage with. Probably better as a textbook/reference guide for when questions come up than a book to read straight through.
