Zusammenfassung:	For too many years, the academic discipline of history has ignored American Indians or lacked the kind of open-minded thinking necessary to truly understand them. Most historians remain oriented toward the American experience at the expense of the Native experience. As a result, both the status and the quality of Native American history have suffered and remain marginalized within the discipline. In this impassioned work, a historian challenges academic historians - and everyone else - to change this way of thinking. He argues that the current discipline and practice of American Indian history are insensitive to and inconsistent with Native people's traditions, understandings, and ways of thinking about their own history. In this book, the author suggests how the discipline of history can improve by reconsidering its approach to Native peoples.
