Thomas King was long described as Cherokee, but he recently clarified that he does not have Indigenous ancestry. Rather than remove the book, we believe in reading with context. This title raises important questions about authorship and representation, and how stories shape both our understanding of history and the ongoing work of decolonization: while making clear that contextual engagement is not an endorsement of false claims to Indigenous identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-1 mt-2 whitespace-pre-line leading-relaxed first:mt-0\" data-sentry-component=\"P\" data-sentry-source-file=\"p.tsx\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS:\u003c\/strong\u003e • Author: Thomas King • Publisher: University of Minnesota Press • Format: Paperback • Publication Date: January 2, 2018 • ISBN: 9781517904463 • Ships direct from distributor in 3–7 business days\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cedar Leaf Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44947137429548,"sku":null,"price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/2234\/1420\/files\/Screenshot2025-11-07at17.22.27.png?v=1762554153","url":"https:\/\/cedarleafbooks.com\/products\/inconvenient-indian-a-curious-account-of-native-people-in-north-america","provider":"Cedar Leaf Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
