&#13;
In addition to stirring rhetoric: an overview of the relations between American Indian tribes and the United States from Wounded Knee through 1969; chastisement of missionaries, anthropologists, and government agencies; wry characterizations of inter-tribal politics; screeds on the bankruptcy of both the black Civil Rights Movement and of white American society; and much, much more. Parts of it went over my head -- I'm not well-grounded in Indian politics -- and other parts, such as his opinion of the Civil Rights Movement and the role of corporations as the saviors of white culture, demand a re-read."&lt;br&gt;University of Oklahoma Press (1988), Paperback, 278 pages</description><pubDate>Wed, 19 Dec 2007 12:49:31 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>The Journey of Crazy Horse: A Lakota History by Joseph M.

From the character analysis, to the style of writing, and in every other aspect, this is, by far, the best biography I've read. The combined elements of the book make it more than a biography of a famous Native American and better than just a history book of one of the great tribes of North America. Lastly, the book provides one of the best (succinct) foundations for anyone with aspirations of leadership."&lt;br&gt;New York : Viking [c2004] hardcover w/DJ; 310 pp..</description><pubDate>Fri, 18 Jan 2008 10:03:59 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus by Charles C.

Since this is not a book by a scholar in the field, but rather a journalist, some of these theories are given more weight, perhaps, than they deserve, but the writing style makes up for that deficit in that this book is widely accessible and interesting to read, with a good narrative flow and a continuous feeling of discovery and newness which is nice to see."&lt;br&gt;Vintage (2006), Paperback, 560 pages</description><pubDate>Sun, 06 Jan 2008 23:56:06 -0500</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
