what is the right term, native american, first american, indigenous people? >> guest: this is one of the subject and this comes up with a lot of things in the book. there might be diversity of opinion. even within the indian country you will find some people who say, you know, columbus had it wrong. don't call me that. you know, i am a schiraldi or something like that. for myself i think it is far more important that we don't make everyone will come down on eggshells because having an angry disposition over something as simple as labels is a killer to, you know, the deeper understandings and it makes people shut down and not want to ask questions, not understand deeper and if they retreat from the subject matter and many people need to embrace deeper understandings and feel that it's safe to do that. and it's okay to do that. so, i kind of laid out of the prevailing terminology and just about all of them have some level of issue of problem. the term indian as christopher columbus thinking he was in china, japan, india, and that made it strands for into the eur

than half of the population is native. there were so many mean-spirited comments and misunderstandings from peers and it seemed like the two worlds, the native world and the non-native world rarely interacted. they would send kids from school until trips in 225 miles away to minneapolis driving around the reservation to get there. and so i guess like many kids growing up somewhere with where the population density somewhere than -- bigger than i came from and of course when i went to college and the first question i went to princeton university i thought these guys are going to be well-educated and know something and the first question was where should tomahawk? oh wow the borderland follows me everywhere and there was no way to escape it that only a way through it so i realized there are not -- i would be the barometer by which a lot of people would you know understand or judge native people and so i realize the importance of my own work in that representation. >> host: grades. one of the things i really liked about your b
