From the back cover: This is the story of a proud, profoundly wise culture, which now seems doomed to extinction. It is the story of the American Indian, who first had his lands wrested away, and now [1972] is undergoing the final destruction of his identity. There are many actors in this drama: the Bureau of Indian Affairs and its strangling lover's embrace; the last great chiefs and medicine men, struggling to keep alive their ancient traditions; the anthropologists and hippies, with their destructive invasions; the new Indian radicals, angry and divided; and above all, the ordinary Indians, in the reservations and in the cities, marked by the white world for spiritual death. . . . It is history. It is news. It is tragedy.
