Book Description:

Studies on 'Injuns' in the cinema have largely told us what we already know: namely, that Hollywood Westerns have misrepresented both the nature of Native American culture and the history of their relations with the whites. In his new book,Western specialist Edward Buscombe moves beyond these obvious points, examining and, in places, challenging received wisdom.
