A masterpiece of the 21st Century. As elaborately and carefully wrought as Ulysses or Pale Fire and just richly suggestive, but much more fun to read.

This is a good summary of what's been going on with the Native Am. (or, now, the preferred term is American Indian) since colonial days. Some really interesting and important history in a somewhat dryly written package. I learned a lot form this book - and for that it deservesmore than three stars but it was a bit sluggish to tread through in some parts. Still, great info on the impact of the fur trade, westward expansion, government interference and more recent militant movements from within the community (and some pretty neat anecdotes on the ghost dance, etc.)
