Peterson Zah, the Navajo nation's first president and its last chairman, has made a number of important contributions toward helping American Indians have more control over their lives and their lands. He also has been extremely active in increasing the number of American Indian students enrolled in colleges and universities. In a book that is an autobiography, an interview, and a conversation combined, Iverson (emeritus, history, Arizona State U.) shares Peterson's accomplishments, vision, and motivations.
