“A creative, brilliant, often witty and acerbic, and always unsettling rejoinder to a long history of colonial, settler, and white representation of Native peoples. . . . As a contribution to our thinking on a range of familiar topics—shamanism, indigenous resistance, settler colonialism, feminist thought, and disability—it offers critical insights that will appeal to scholars from many fields.”
—Bret Gustafson, Washington University in St. Louis

"The book is packed with keen insights. . . . commingled with ethnohistory and critiques of previous narratives."
