"Everything You Know About Indians Is Wrong" is both the title of Paul Chaat Smith's book of essays, and very much what he believes. He's a curator at the National Museum of the American Indian of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, and he tells Steve Paulson that unlike other people Indians aren't allowed to change.
