INTRODUCTION

If The Indians' Book can help to a recognition of primitive men as men of latent capabilities; if it can help in ever so small degree to herald the day when adult races wisely shall guide child races, and civilization nourish the genius of every people, then will this utterance of the North American Indians be not for the race alone, but for all humanity.

August, 1905.
