"North Dakota Indians: An Introduction is a text and resource guide for college students and teachers. Because the book is intended for use in North Dakota, the materials generally relate directly to the major contemporary tribal cultures of North Dakota: Arikara, Dakota, Hidatsa, Mandan, Lakota, and Turtle Mountain Chippewa. Information from other areas or concerning Indian people in general is included when necessary. The chapters are organized topically, not by tribe or reservation, and a major concern has been, when possible, to present both Indian and non-Indian viewpoints. The chapters on Indian origins, Indian historical methods and Indian economics are based on original research design to explicitly present Indian perspectives on these topics"--Preface (Page vii)
