anthropologist is a great contribution to the history of American
anthropology."--CHOICE
"An important contribution to American Indian history, to
cross-cultural studies and to the history of education."--American
Studies in Scandinavia
"As a biography of Arthur Parker's life, To Be Indian offers a
storehouse of information"--Studies in American Indian
Literatures
"Students of cultural mediation, race relations, and intellectual
history, particularly as these relate to American Indian history,
will want to read this book." --Ethnohistory
"This biography gives us in-depth information on Parker"--Journal
of American Ethnic History
"Throughout Porter's biography, the larger theme of Parker's life
stands out: his struggle to shape an authentic and successful
Indian identity despite obstacles within and without. Porter's
gracefully written study adds to a growing literature on both
twentieth-century American Indian history and Indian identity and
its biographical format makes it particularly engaging reading. -
