I picked this up on a whim, and kept reading it when I noticed that it was produced by the National Museum of the American Indian/Smithsonian Institute, and has short, digestible chapters of 1-3 pages answering commonly asked questions (questions from the intelligent to the mortifyingly racist and ignorant). I learned a ton--everything from contributions natives have made to our society to why certain stereotypes are pervasive.
