'Deloria’s unique work brings nuance and insight to the often-noted phenomenon of basing a self-image on perceptions, real and imagined of the ‘other.’ The author succeeds admirably in tracing this complex process from the donning of Indian regalia at the Boston Tea Party to the contemporary adopting of Indian identities by New Age ‘Reincarnated Again Shamans.’ More important, he shows Indians to be active and creative agents in this process, and though often exploited, marginalized, or supplanted, still able to use their ventral iconic position as a means to secure and transform their own identities. have been an enduring, important component of the symbolic underpinnings of the ongoing American construction project.'-Joane Nagel, American Quarterly This book persuaded me that images of Indians and Indianness. 'Deloria’s Playing Indian traces whites’ ambivalent fascination with Native Americans from the earliest days of the U.S. Contrary to the conventional wisdom that prevailed throughout most of our history, the Indians will remain.'-Peter Iverson, American Historical Review

This book reminds us that at least one question about America has been settled. This important book belongs in all American history collections.'- Library Journal Beginning before the Boston Tea Party, and continuing into the present, Americans have adopted Indian attire, images, and traditions for both political and individual needs. Americans need Indians in order to define themselves as Americans, asserts Deloria. 'Deloria demonstrates how 'Indian play' has always taken on new shape and focus to engage the most pressing issues of a particular historical moment, and he notes that American views of Indians tell us much more about Americans than they do about Indians. And, according to this lucid, nimble and occasionally, frolicsome re-examination of the history of the United States, it is one that Americans have often tried to answer by 'playing Indian.''-Jim Boothroyd, Times Literary Supplement Every American generation since has asked the same question. ''What, then, is the American, this new man?,' asked J. Playing Indian speaks volumes, and it says much more than 'How!''-Jeremy MacClancy, Times Higher Education Supplement 'Deloria argues nothing is so ideologically weighted as a seemingly innocent pleasure.

Deloria, builds his case with caution and precision, careful to avoid sweeping claims.' -Michael Kenney, Boston Globe

I like this movie a lot, the pieces much more than the whole, but I can't help but wanting to beat up everyone involved in it because this should be so much better. Somehow I think that there were too many people with too many ideas (good ideas) but no one to say too much is a bad thing. It doesn't seem to know what it wants to be.

It feels some times like a TV movie for kids and at other times something that should be on the big screen for everyone. It has timeless humor and humor that is in danger of dating very badly. Its a comedy, fantasy, adventure, musical and a few other things all at the same time. The cast is game, the special effects are good and the direction seems to be mostly on target, but somewhere along the way the movie decided to be too hip, too happening, too many things all at once. The story of young Ella who was given the gift of obedience is a very frustrating movie, it should be wild and charming and funny and the best thing since sliced bread, or if not sliced bread then The Princess Bride, but some how it doesn't quite work as whole.
