In reviewing these books we are actually examining one recent offering and two reprints, To Be Indian, a new study of the life of Arthur Parker, and Carlos Montezuma and American Indian Intellectuals, both having been published at least two decades ago and now given flashy new covers. There is no good framework within which one can compare these offerings. A short essay on Parker is included among the intellectuals; Montezuma is omitted. The Parker and Montezuma biographies are standard fare with impressive research notes supporting the stories. In Intellectuals each chapter has its notes but the volume lacks an index or general bibliography.
