Review Quotes: "I like the concept of 'talking back' to civilization used in this [book] and the various political perspectives represented in the essays. These voices make clear that native people appropriated the language of the colonizers to make sense of their world, defend Indian rights, and challenge American politics during the Progressive Era. The documents show Indian people as activists and thinkers."
