A discussion of the works of the Garland, who wrote both fiction and non-fiction about Indigenous people during the transitional period when nations were being moved to reservations.

Contends that since early "autobiographies" were a collaboration between Aboriginals and Europeans, they are distorted and fail to convey the true essence of the personal narrative, which is an oral tradition.
