The article focuses on the book "The Indian Lawyer," by James Welch. "The Indian Lawyer" departs from Welch's "Tragic School" a little and shows a good, successful Indian man who has not fallen into the alcoholic or political cliches. Sylvester Yellow Calf has had it made all his life--basketball star, respected and able lawyer, tall and handsome and sensitive. He lives in the modern world and he speaks and acts in a way recognizable to all Americans. The book is a little alien to Indians. James Welch is obviously an intelligent and kind man, he cares about Indians and knows exactly the way things are.
