A clean, attractive copy. "There are here illuminating chapters on Indian art, dances and religions, on their law, the influence of their thinking on the thought of Europe. There are unforgettable insights into the minds of the Whites in their encounters with the Redman. One receives an impression of extraordinary vitality, of a people who have an inner strength which we have wasted against our better interests, but which still persists against all odds and is beginning, perhaps, to be understood and so used as a part of our American heritage.

It may be months or even years later, though, that a child first shows fear about going to see a doctor. The worry of an injection or some other unfamiliar medical procedure can trigger that fear. It can also appear because another family member may be feeling medical anxieties.
