Thank you---Nancy Thalia Reynolds---for sharing

info on an author's knowledge/experience in citing, indexing, and contracts... Lots of useful info to ponder. You posed an excellent question. When there is so much superficiality, how will change occur? Part of that responsibility lies with us (the consumers). If we buy, for example, THE BUFFALO ARE BACK, do we signal that we're willing to spend our money on a flawed product? Course, you have to know its flawed in the first place. And, what constitutes "flawed" differs from one person to the next. Nancy Bo Flood's assessment of BUFFALO ARE BACK, is a lot different from mine.

I haven't read Bruchac's book (BUFFALO SONG) but will do that. I looked at reviews and see that he does refer to Native efforts to sustain buffalo in the 1800s (something Craighead George did not do).
