THE ARAPAHOES, OUR PEOPLE (Civilization of the American Indian)

The Arapahoes are an important Plains Indian tribe. Previously neglected in favor of their more hostile allies, the Sioux and the Cheyennes, they have benefited from increasing attention in recent years.

In a new preface she summarizes the major events for the last Arapaho generation.
