Dr. Treuer tackles a wide range of topics, from cultural traditions and identity to contemporary issues and misconceptions. Curious about why non-Native people wearing Indian costumes sparks controversy? Wondering about the origins of fry bread tacos, or what it’s like for Natives who don’t fit stereotypes? Dr. Treuer addresses these questions and many more, providing thoughtful, honest, and sometimes surprising insights.

Praise for Everything You Wanted to Know About Indians But Were Afraid to Ask:

“Straightforward, fascinating, funny, and often wise, Everything You Wanted to Know about Indians But Were Afraid to Ask is a wonderful resource for non-Indians and Indians too. (There are plenty of things we want to know about each other.)  It is that rare thing—an informational and entertaining read.” —Louise Erdrich

“Everything You Wanted to Know about Indians does more than answer the questions. It raises other questions about civilization and religion. It does what a book should do.” —Basil Johnston, award winning author of The Manitous and many other books on Ojibwe history and culture

“Anton Treuer is a consummate bridge-builder. Patient and pointed in equal measure, Everything You Wanted to Know about Indians inspires readers to embrace human commonality—and when confronted with issues of social and cultural difference, to engage our better natures.” —Philip J. Deloria, Carroll Smith-Rosenberg Collegiate Professor, University of Michigan, and author of Indians in Unexpected Places
