Recensioner i media

Histories of modern American Indian groups are rarely successful. They tend to be apologetic, chauvinistic, or deeply anthropological. The Only Land I Know is a refreshing counter to the above complaints. . . . Intelligently written and readable. . . . More books of this kind are needed.
