What have you always wanted to know about Indians? Do you think you should already know the answers or suspect that your questions may be offensive? In matter-of-fact responses to over 120 questions, both thoughtful and outrageous, modern and historical, Ojibwe scholar and cultural preservationist Anton Treuer gives a frank, funny, and sometimes personal tour of what's up with Indians, anyway. What is the real story of Thanksgiving? Why are tribal languages important? What do you think of that incident where people died in a sweat lodge? White/Indian relations are often characterised by guilt and anger. This book cuts through the emotion and builds a foundation for true understanding and positive action.
