    This thirty page booklet was written to explain federal Indian policy and the reservation system to educated Americans who aren't familiar with them. While brief it still provides a clear, concise summary of the history and legal status of reservations. It explains why federal Indian policy has devastated reservation areas. The booklet discusses some of the violations of constitutional and civil rights inherent in the reservation system and provides recommended solutions. The author is a third generation rancher and reservation resident. An Indian attorney and publisher of the Native American Press/Ojibwe News says, "[Darrel's] booklet adds tremendously to the national discussion of these issues and is very worthwhile reading."
