American Indians: Stereotypes and Realities > Customer Review #1:
A good place to start

I found this book very useful as a teaching tool but it is often condescending to those outside of Indian Country, sometimes with good reason and sometimes out of anger. While the anger is understandable, the author looses her credibility by assuming all non-natives share incorrect views of natives. I still feel it is a useful book for demonstrating stereotypes and realities of the American Indian experience but, I wish the author would have moved beyond stereotyping readers outside of the American Indian as ignorant in order to present the realities of American Indians as valid.

truly brilliant and courageous

It is amazing that clueless white males continue to perpetrate their eurocentric structuring of Native American identity. Fortunately, we have wonderful books like this that challenge the assumptions of the domineering society controlled by white patriarchal attitudes. This is an important book.

This book is a little gem!

This well done book serves to debunk and correct the stereotypical image of the American Indian. The book is loaded with reference material and guidelines for teachers. Every educator and library in America would benefit greatly from having this wonderfully educational and enjoyable book.
