The most essential part of the book is presentations of quotes by Geronimo, Sitting Bull, Chief Joseph, Gertrude S. Bonnin, Tecumseh and many others. The common denominator is a temperate view on life that can inspire people nowadays as the quotes are simply timeless.
Again, the key part of the book is the quotes - or their own words. To make the reading experience more interesting there is also a short introductory essay, maps, biographies and many photographs and images. All this combined probably makes it the most thorough book of its kind.
And finally some food for thought:
"When the last tree is cut,
the last fish is caught,
and the last river is polluted;
when to breathe the air is sickening,
you will realize, too late,
that wealth is not in bank accounts
and that you cannot eat money."
