Great Information,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: American Indian Facts of Life (Paperback)
This book surprised me. There is a ton of information about the status of American Indians in the United States. Anyone that is interested in knowing more should take the time to read this book. If you are looking for a scholarly discourse then this is not it. If you are looking to better understand and to know more then this is a book to read.
The book is worth the price just for the references in the back where you can find more information or verify what is in the book. George Russell good job and thank you for taking the time to write this book.
