Title: Federer just doesn't understand us Indians.
Review: The section on Christopher Columbus displays his own shallowness - he said in his letters that my ancestors "had no religion" and would therefore be easy to convert to Christianity. What Federer and many of his colleagues do not understand is that we Indians do not have a distinct word meaning "religion", because our traditional "religion" and everyday living were integrated. Wisely omitted from this book were quotations from George Custer (who committed suicide at the Battle of Little Bighorn), James Sheridan ("The only good Indian is a dead Indian") and John Chivington (the minister-turned-soldier who led the U.S. Army in the Sand Creek Massacre). That's the only Kudos I give to Federer. Otherwise, this book belongs in the recycling bin.
