Valuable text that describes the United States of America's coercive oppressive and unequal relationship with the North American Indian. Highlights, how the United States government ignored and subverted treaty rights in order to gain land and resources. In addition, describes how the Dawes act, and the Indian Reorganization Acts have affected "Indian" people. The best chapter in terms of describing actual native people is Chapter 7 because of the Indian humour. Very informative book.

A good line: Q. Is it possible to engross the audience when the end of the quest is already known? Yes. Mark Twain wrote of U.S. Grant's personal memoirs that they were so well written as to make one wonder who was going to win the Civil War. The book itself was a tough read. He seems to try to make his points in such an obtuse manner that it's difficult to understand his point. He asks the question, what does a producer do. But never fully answers it. I like his brief description of a scene from the movie, "Contact", one that I've always regarded as being unique. "Another magnificient effect is the running-upstairs shot in "Contact" (director Rober Zemekis, cinematographer Don Burgess), in which the camera pulls the hero, a little girl, down a corridor, up the steps, and toward a medicine cabinet holding the drugs that will save her father from his heart attack. She reaches forward, and the shot of her face becomes a shot of a medicine cabinet. the camera, however, does not move. That is, it is as if the entire shot were, somehow, a reflection in the medicine cabinet mirror. A stunning effect." It's worth watching the movie for that scene alone.
