Description: Self-published, wide-ranging exploration of Indian culture, and critique of white civilization, by an author of undisclosed identity, let alone ethnicity -- who subtitles his own book, "The World's Worst Book." The book opens with a letter to then-Commissioner of Indian Affairs, John Collier, explaining the genesis and purpose of it, and goes on for over 400 pages of history, polemic, and every other kind of emphatic exposition, to make the author's points -- which largely have to do with recognizing the value of traditional Indian cultures and condemning, baldly, the destruction of them by white society.
Notes: At head of title: Blame only Iktomi n̄ĉala and thank the Indians and their friends who were of aid to the world's worst book.
On cover: Iktomi series.
