The authors offer seven intriguing essays discussing a variety
of topics relative to today's American Indian. They argue that
many aspects of Indian identity exist among the numerous
tribes of North America and that no one tribe or person personi-
fies what that identity is today. Indeed, there are many elements
of American Indian identity, and the editor has skillfully assembled
a fine collection of original works which examine this significant
question. Topics include in this short volumn range from cowboys
to pickups and from Indian education to middle class Indian Amer-
ica. This is a lively book filled with provocative ideas. It will be of
interest to anyone who wishes to understand American Indians
today. Lots of black and white photos.
