Abstract
"This book presents a dramatically new interpretation of the history of the Plains Indians. Drawing on the latest findings of archeologists and anthropologists, historian Francis Haines thoroughly debunks the popular notions spawned by Hollywood and TV that the Plains Indians, and several other tribes on both sides of the Plains, all lived in the same environment, all looked alike, and all followed the same customs."--Front Flap.
