A mix of academic research as well as field experience, this book draws on author Laurence French's more than 40 years of experience with American Indian individuals and groups. It illustrates how, despite changes in the law to correct past injustices, a subculture of discrimination often persists in law enforcement, whether by a prosecutor or a street cop. The book provides specific examples of the role of police in extra-legal confrontations with...

"During the last two decades of the nineteenth century, American Indian policy was dominated by a small but active group of reformers who wrote and spoke vigorously in favor of acculturating and assimilating the indians.
