The Rain-makers

From the introduction: "In approaching Desert Indians, we take it for granted that they, being the conquered race, acknowledge the superiority of the whites. But, as a matter of fact, every Indian in his heart considers himself far above the white man. They are descendants of warriors and have the warrior's pride and dignity. To them we are a nation of unmannerly intruders who force our way into their houses, pluck and stare at everything, and then rush on to see more of what we do not take the trouble to comprehend."
