This is a well researched and readable account of the American Indian' (especially the Iroquois) contribution to the nation's formative ideology, particularly the ideas of federal union, public opinion in governance, political liberty and the government's role in guaranteeing citizens' well being. This story also demolishes the stereotypical assumptions that American Indians were somehow too simpleminded to engage in effective social and poliltical organization. ISBN : 87645-111-3
