Page v For mixedbloods, the next generation

Page vi Yes, we are between two fires, the Red and the White. Our Caucasian brothers criticize us as a shiftless class, while the Indians disown us as abandoning our own race. We are maligned and traduced as no one but we of the despised "breeds" can know. Mourning Dove, Cogwea, the Half-Blood Mixedbloods loosen the seams in the shrouds of identities. Gerald Vizenor,"Crows Written on the Poplars"
