Allen, Hayward.

Summary: As far as we tell, author Hayward Allen doesn't have a drop of Native American blood in him. What the former teacher and Peace Corps volunteer has instead is a remarkable empathy for America's first people, and it's this quality that makes That Traveler's Guide to Native America much more than a handbook of tourist attractions.
