#1 I had to change the title of my book to The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious History of Native People in North America. While not subscribing to Pound’s political beliefs, I do agree with him that We do not know the past in chronological sequence.

#2 The Inconvenient Indian is a history of Indian people in North America, but it is written from a narrative perspective. I have not tried to keep biases under control, and I have not kept personal anecdotes in check.

#3 The term Indian is neutral in this book, and refers to a general group of people as diverse and indefinable as Indians. The term First Nations is the current term of choice in Canada, while Native Americans is the fashionable preference in the United States.

#4 The author spent time on both Canada and the United States, discussing the past and present relations between the two countries. While the line that divides the two countries is a political reality, for most Aboriginal people, it doesn’t exist.
