Challenges readers to consider the subtle ironies at the heart of Native American culture and oral traditions, such as creation and trickster stories, and dream songs. Gerald Vizenor believes that the protean nature of many creation stories was lost or obfuscated in inferior translations by scholars and cultural connoisseurs.
