Book Review

Indians in Unexpected Places. By Philip J. Deloria. (Lawrence: University Press of Kansas, 2004. xii + 300 pp. Illustrations, notes, index. $24.95.)

Indians driving (and owning, and repairing) automobiles, starring in major professional and collegiate athletics, working as producers, writers, and actors in motion pictures, their musical traditions as somehow related to the development of an "American" musical tradition, operating in places and in roles seemingly in contradistinction to stereotype. These, in the most superficial of ways, are the stories Philip J. Deloria explores in his latest book, Indians in Unexpected Places. And interesting, enlightening stories they are. From the creations of Native filmmaker James Young Deer, and the Creek mezzo-soprano Tsianina Redfeather, to athletic exploits of Charles "Chief" Bender, and including images of Geronimo driving a Cadillac, and the arctic "taxi service" operated by George Johnson (Tlingit), Deloria offers some "secret histories" of American Indians from the early decades of the twentieth century. Enlightening, entertaining, poignant, engagingly written, Indians in Unexpected Places reminds us of the diversity of American Indian experience, or at least the experiences of some American Indians.
