Description
"They used to call the Indians the vanishing race, along with the buffalo. Stan Steiner, in his eloquent sequel to "The New Indians" says it is the white man who will one day vanish from the American West, choked by greed and smog in a land stripped of the water, fertility, and coal the Indians struggled for centuries to conserve. And it is the Indians, wiser in the ways of nature, who will survive, unless the lust for the white man's money saps their strength."-- Taken from Amazon.com.
