First sentence: The study of American Indians and their reservations opens up to the geographer a wide spectrum of possibilities for research that encompasses many disciplines in the field.
Description: "In the most comprehensive and detailed cultural-geographic study ever conducted of the American Indian reservations in the forty-eight contiguous states, Klaus Frantz explores the reservations as living environments rather than historical footnotes. Although this study provides well-researched documentation of the generally deplorable living conditions on the reservations, it also discovers and highlights the many possibilities for positive change."--BOOK JACKET.
