"The Indian world has changed so substantially since the first publi-
cation of this book that some things contained in it seem new again."

Indeed, it seems that each generation of whites and Indians will
have to read and reread Vine Deloria's manifesto for some time
to come, before we absorb his special, ironic Indian point of view
and what he tells us, with a great deal of humor, about U.S. race
relations, federal bureaucracies, Christian churches, and social
scientist. This book continues to be required reading for all
Americans, whatever their special interest.

A great chapter on how the Native American have a wonderful
sense of humor and laugh about everything in their daily lives.
