"Professor Mihesuah goes beyond simply providing responses to common
stereotypes. She provides the reader with assistance in efforts to improve
understanding of her peoples. Each of the chapters provides solid information to
challenge myths and stereotypes. Excellent photographs are interspersed
throughout the book.... The implications of this book for social work practice are
extensive... A valuable contribution" Journal of Multicultural Social Work
"A precious primer on Native Americans for anyone who can handle the truth
about how the West was won." Kam Williams, syndicated
"This book should be read by every educator and included in the collections of
every school and university library." Flagstaff Live
"Mihesuah's work should be required reading for elemetary and upper level
teachers, college instructors and parents. Let us hope it finds a wide readership
in mainstream circles." Joel Monture, MultiCultural Review
"Devon Mihesuah has provided precious insight into the racial identity and
cultural struggles of American Indians as they strive to succeed in modern
America. She has successfully challenged harmful stereotypes and racism in
this significant book... If an accurate history is to be learned, then society must
accept the truth of cultural pluralism and give equal and fair treatment to Native
Americans and other minorities... As an American Indian and a university scholar
of history, I applaud Devon Mihesuah for successfully confronting the literature of
false portrayal and negative images of Indian people."
