Interesting facts, a little too much description of places, and the book felt a little dated.

Expanded my understanding of Native culture and gave me a greater appreciation of how Native people's truly shaped America. I especially enjoyed the chapters on language and place names. Wish I had been able to find more info on Weatherford. I'm a little suspect on how his research is viewed by Native peoples. Couldn't find any record of him on oyate, which is my go-to resource for best Native reading/reference.

Dry at times, but very informative. It opened my eyes to how much we owe to Native Americans and whetted my curiosity to find out more.
