Trade Review
'without peer as an introduction to the health problems of the indigenous peoples of North America ... I will recommend it to undergraduate, graduate, and medical students seeking information on Indian health. Physicians and public health professionals serving Native American populations, even those with years of experience, will have much to learn from the book, I certainly did.' Jonathan R. Sugarman, JAMA, February 1995, Vol. 273, No. 6
an excellent review of the literature with careful attention to the limitations inherent in much of the research ... This book is a valuable reference for researchers and health professionals working with Native communities. * Canadian Journal of Public Health, Vol. 86, No. 3, May/June 1995 *
