Though the author is photographed wearing an eagle feather war bonnet and beaded regalia, he is a white man. There is no evidence to suggest that poet and writer Howard Clark Brown's 'Indian name' of Tokaniya is anything but a personally assumed moniker, in an act of what was then considered appreciation, but would now be called appropriation.    "No one knows how far one may go towards the trail of beauty along which the Indian walked, but this much is certain, the more we absorb of the imaginative spirit of the Red man, the more closely we follow his way of conservation of our wild life, his interpretation of the out of doors, his love of it, the finer will be our contribution to the enriching of the camp and recreational life of the world."   This pamphlet extolls the virtues of Native influence on youth camps and groups, describing various moral lessons which can be taught via Native customs. There are several references to Ernest Thompson Seaton and the Woodcraft League of America, as well as writers James Willard Schultz and Dr. Charles Eastman.    No copies located on OCLC as of August 2023, nor any other publication from the Youthcraft Press. .
