Winner of a Spur Award, Buy the Chief a Cadillac is a powerful story of American Indians confronting an uncertain future in the Pacific Northwest. In his praise of this dramatic novel, best-selling author Tony Hillerman says it "should be added to reading lists for students of American history." In 1954, after the government implements the Indian Termination Act, three Klamath brothers are forced to contemplate their futures amidst the growing turmoil of life on the reservation.
