[In Behind the Trail of Broken Treaties] Deloria argues effectively that the best solution to the "Indian problem," for Indians and the federal government alike, is to honor old treaties and to develop a new treaty relationship which gives tribes the status of quasi-international independence (with the U.S. acting as protector). The legal and moral arguments are set into historical developments; and the major objections to restoration of tribal sovereignty are countered with reason and with examples from around the world…. This well-written plea deserves the consideration of every American: Deloria is clearly a spokesman to be heard.
