Tonto's Revenge: Reflections on American Indian Culture and Policy

Rennard Strickland (Cherokee/Osage) is an expert in Native American law and heavily involved in the Native community. His lucid view from the inside is refreshingly funny and optimistic: demonstrating how Native Americans are not assimilating or weakening, but gaining new tools in cultural preservation, legal protection, and economical development for the upcoming millenium. Although filled with historical references and facts, these essays were taken from Strickland's speeches. They're easily read, not stuffy or overly-academic.
