Perhaps the greatest etic examination of Anthropology, the author critically examines, with wit and humor, American Indian relations with others - federal agencies, churches, and anthropologists. The author makes clear that American Indians retain their identity despite policies of termination/assimilation and living in a modern world. Every CRM professional should read this to understand not only a Native American perspective, but also to see the history of relations with the profession has deep roots and some possibly rotten.
