520 |a "The destruction of the American Indian, by his enemies and by his friends. 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 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 [shamans], struggling to keep alive their ancient traditions ; the anthropologists and hippies, with their destructive invations ; the new Indian radicals, angry and divided ; and above all, the ordinary Indians, in the reservations and in the cities, marked by the white [whites, whiteman] spiritual death."--Back cover.
