(2) YA In this dizzyingly eclectic anthology, forty-six contributors, clearly identified by tribe or background, present poems, paintings, drawings, etc. Some reflect the theme of contemporary Native life; others simply depict Indian people following a variety of pursuits. The book lacks a coherent design, with myriad competing elements, but perhaps that's the point: that Native Americans are "tremendously diverse peoples with tremendously diverse life experiences."
