Although only very slightly dated, this book is a great place to start if you know little about Indigenous peoples. Mostly covers USA politics and history, but some Canadian as well. My knowledge on the subject matter is probably intermediate (on the Canadian side only) and I learned far more than I could possibly remember, but now I have a few places I'd like to dive deeper into.
laurao's review against another edition
I wanted to know what he thought of Indians from India. He said he traveled the world giving lectures, but then didn't even acknowledge that the name was shared with over a billion people. He also talked about the importance of family, but never gave credit to the mother of his children. He talked about the importance of attending funerals, but never acknowledged the work that took. He seemed oblivious to the fact that he was expecting young people of his tribe to succeed at both the ancestral goals and the goals of other Americans. Both sets of expectations are hard on their own; expecting someone to strive for both is setting them up for failure, even with the best support system.

Great digestable book to understand Native American culture and common stereotypes and myths.
