The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of Native People in North America

Entertaining, humorous and unabashedly opinionated, The Inconvenient Indian examines North America's relationship with Native people through historical events and figures as well as film, activism, pop culture, legislation, policy, treaties, and the unifying concept of "Native land."

This book is Native history from a Native perspective, and an ultimately hopeful account for all of us seeking to understand how we might create a new future together.

For the past five decades, he has worked as an activist for Native causes, as an administrator in Native programs, and has taught Native literature and history at universities. King was the first Aboriginal person to deliver the prestigious Massey Lectures, and is also the bestselling, award-winning author of five novels and two collections of short stories.
