Abstract: Native Americans are among the few peoples who maintain kinship and sharing cultures which contrast greatly with our large, economically oriented, individualized, impersonal, urbanizing society. Purely material requirements lead to rapidly increasing involvements. The question is "with what effect?" This paper suggests that Indians some how frustrate attempts even to research the question by meth ods which suit the impersonal society. Answers will come from them when Indian people are given the means to find their own ways in the new environment.
