A serious topic written with much humour and some sarcasm. Great dialogue and unusual narration and but I occasionally felt its unusually disjointed structure made it difficult to follow through its various story lines and characters. King leaves us with a message and with many rhetorical questions. Are Natives excluded from the present cultural and political system? Does Western white society even know who Natives are or what they want? Are Natives doomed to continue on the same unsuccessful path that they have been on for a very long time? There are certainly no easy answers to these questions as King's more recent book, The Inconvenient Indian, clearly shows. Overall a very enjoyable read.
