Comments:
Silverberg said in the Best of Introduction that this story of all those he's written. It has apparently showed up in college texts on writing techniques. It's the story of Tom Two Ribbons, a Sioux in the future coming to terms with his life and his ancestry. The viewpoint shifts as needed between third, first, and even second person. It's a good story, though it won no awards.
The story was adapted for the Sci-Fi Radio program.
