FUTURE
Two approaches are currently in
vogue when discussing the future of
the Southwestern Indian; the first
flatly predicts the imminent disap-

mainstream of American life. The
second is more vague and therefore
more popular; it speaks gently of the
acculturative process, suggesting a
thoughtful blending of "the best of
the old with the best of the new/' a
sort of golden cultural sunset in
which the Indian may remain quaint

regarding all other peoples as merely
undeveloped Americans. We assume
they must be dissatisfied with their
way of life and anxious to live and
think as we do.
One thing is certain—the story
of the American Indian is not yet
finished, but how it will end or if it

still time, perhaps, to begin to think
of our remaining Indian communities
as valuable cultural resources rather
than simply as perplexing social
problems. Vissza
