Verzameling teksten van inheemse Amerikanen, thematisch-chronologisch gerangschikt, met telkens een uitgebreide inleiding, zowel voor elk thema (of elke periode) als voor elke individuele tekst. Die inleidingen maken het boek meteen een beknopte geschiedenis van de relatie tussen de oorspronkelijke bewoners en de nieuwkomers. Zoals bekend geen fraai verhaal. Een boek vol oorlog, ziekte en dood, culturele ontworteling en gebroken beloften, waar alleen naar het einde toe af en toe wat hoop doorschemert.

Een grote diversiteit aan verhalen, het ene al straffer dan het andere. De transformatie van het apache-jongetje Wassaja tot de Indiaanse intellectueel Montezuma, bijvoorbeeld. Vreemd genoeg vond ik 'Suddenly a gate' een van de meest aangrijpende. Op een dag is het afgelopen met je tradities en gewoontes. En daar komt niet noodzakelijk oorlog of geweld aan te pas. ( )

(Foreward) The celebration of the quincentennial of Columbus's discovery of the western hemisphere contains the potential for great reconciliation or immense misunderstanding.
(Introduction) Like many Native Americans before and after him, Edward Goodbird, a Hidatsa Indian from North Dakota, puzzled over the behavior of white people.
