The book explores the alarming socio-economic challenges faced by American Indians, highlighting the stark realities of poverty, high suicide rates among men, and increased violence against women. It argues that contemporary policies, rather than historical injustices alone, are responsible for these issues. By denying land ownership and access to the free market, as well as failing to provide adequate legal protections, reservations have become marginalized areas within the wealthiest nation, reflecting a systemic neglect that perpetuates these crises.
