Description
A lampoon of white attitudes to the country's native population. The hero is an Indian trickster who makes a living exploiting the romantic stereotype. When not telling anthropology departments at universities what they want to hear, he operates a New Age telephone service which features native healers. By the author of Dead Voices.Tags

Pretty confusing to read, disjointed. Obviously I don't understand any references Vizenor makes (I'm assuming he astutely ties his tales to real events or other literary sources).
