Review:
""At time when most Americans don't realize that over 66 percent of Indians live off the reservation, this book is a powerful witness ... it will reward the reader with an illuminating look into what it means to be a member of America's Native minority.""

About the Author:
"Kirkus Reviews""
""[An] interesting representation of Lakota male experiences in the realities of present-day life in the Great Plains.""
"Wicazo Sa Review""
""Mark Monroe has broken out of society's cage and achieved outstanding things. We are all better off for it. His personality and stature qualities of leadership, determination, and stamina quickly override the poverty-stricken times and the tragic aspects that linger constantly at the edges of this Indian world, this seemingly desolate place. Compared with other Native American biographies, "An Indian in White America" stands near the top.""
Charles Ballard, Institute of Ethnic Studies, University of Nebraska"
