The Western view of native people is a cliched mixture of misinformation. The prevailing view has often been that indigenous peoples were merely obstacles to the onward march of progress. Even now the echoes of history remain strong.
Today, however, the lands of indigenous peoples are the new frontier full of the raw materials coveted by industrial society. This new colonization recalls the old: the same impetus to 'civilise' exists today in the minds of political leaders, World Bank officials and transnational corporations. Yet it is an ill-disguised bonanza with no thought for the long-term effects on the land, or the people who live there. Only the elimination of the colonial relationship itself can lead to a partnership of cultures.

This is an exhaustive report on the condition (as of 1987) of several hundred of the world's surviving native nations. Covering all continents, the book gives historical accounts of the arrival of the colonial pavers, the suppression of autonomy, the alienation from native lands and customs, and the current situation. [...] Population tables, maps, chronologies, resource, guides and other helpful devices make Report from the Frontier an absolutely essential document for anyone seeking to grasp the big picture on the situation of native peoples on the planet today.
