In this volume, Calvin Luther Martin proposes that the Europeans learned what they wished to learn from the native Americans, not what the Americans actually meant. Drawing on his own experience with native people and on their stories, he offers the reader a different conceptual landscape.
Drawing on his own experiences with native people and their stories, Martin takes up the philosophical challenge of the Native American "way of the human being", leading us to rethink our entire sense of what is real and how we know the real.
