The book explores the complex relationship between white American males and their constructed ideals of "Indianness," emphasizing how these perceptions often overshadow the true experiences and realities of Native Americans. It critically examines the historical and cultural investments white men have made in shaping their notions of the ideal Indian, revealing the disconnect between these fantasies and the lived experiences of Indigenous peoples in the United States.
