The transcript begins in the middle of a conversation Nash is having with two unidentified persons. He recalls his days as a young anthropologist doing fieldwork on a reservation that included the Klamath, the Modoc, and the Paviotso bands during the Depression era. Nash also discusses tribal economics, the Indian Reorganization Act, and the effect termination had on the Klamath. He recalls his efforts to oppose Menominee termination in Wisconsin, his election as lieutenant governor of Wisconsin on an anti-termination platform, and being involved in Indian affairs during the Kennedy administration.
