Fulcrum Publishing, 2003 It's Like Gold This is one of my all time favorite books. Vine Deloria Jr. tells it like it is. As a former Christian Minister who returned to his roots to tend to his people's needs he knows exactly what the differences between the two general concepts are all about. Deloria never fails to amaze with his ability to turn the tables on the colonial intelectuals, deconstructing, analyzing and referencing ...             The World We Used to Live In: Remembering the Powers of the Medicine Men4 reviews Jr., Vine Deloria Fulcrum Publishing, 2006 Valuable Contribution to Spiritual Tradition This book is a compilation of the accounts of disinterested and often hostile observers of the amazing and often inexplicable workings of Native American medicine men and shamans.

This perspective is highly undervalued in historically white supremacist america. I got to read from people from different tribal nationhoods and different ages and stages of life. Part 5 "Who We Are and Who We Are Not" was particularly amazing. I liked Paula Gunn Allen's (Laguna/Metis) piece, ...             Spirit & Reason: The Vine Deloria, Jr., Reader2 reviews Barbara Deloria, Sam Scinta Fulcrum Publishing, 1999 This should be required reading in Native American studies.

Both of ...             Skull Wars Kennewick Man, Archaeology, And The Battle For Native American Identity19 reviews David Hurst Thomas Basic Books, 2001 Factual, biting and rivetting style As an author myself, one of the kindest remarks about my work was paid by a detractor. She had written that "Davis' words may be factual, but they are biting, irreverent and at a total disregard for social ideals.." "Skull Wars" puts me in mind of this same quote, only I am hardly a detractor. Thomas's style IS biting. His "no holds bared, this is the plain truth" writing may well ruffle some ...             Black Elk Speaks: Being the Life Story of a Holy Man of the Oglala Sioux, Twenty-First Century Edition48 reviews John G. Neihardt Bison Books, 2000 A Great Vision _Over the years I have read this book in the wilderness and in the wasteland. Every time that I have reread it I have come away renewed. _There are just so many levels on which this account can be appreciated. It is one of the best first-hand accounts of plains life- from camp life, to the march, the hunt, courting, healing, etc. It is also one of the best first-hand accounts of historical ...             Crazy Horse (second edition): The Strange Man of the Oglalas (50th Anniversary Edition)31 reviews Mari Sandoz Bison Books, 2004 An Authenticated Portrait Little is known about Crazy Horse in comparison to other legendary chiefs, warriors and heroes due to the quiet-spoken and solitude-seeking nature he possessed. Indeed, Crazy Horse was considered "strange" due to standing true to his ideals and who he really was, instead of the conventional ways of others no matter how traditional. Born of lighter hair and skin, young Curly stood out as ...             Red Earth, White Lies: Native Americans and the Myth of Scientific Fact24 reviews Jr., Vine Deloria Fulcrum Publishing, 1997 Great thinker and writer Vine Deloria has written another outstanding book about Native subjects that is both original and intelligent. I have been guided by his thinking in this book and have used it for my upcoming book, The Odawa and Smallpox Genocide (Edwin Mellon Press). He is sadly missed, since he walked on.             Custer Died for Your Sins: An Indian Manifesto (Civilization of the American Indian)19 reviews Vine Deloria University of Oklahoma Press, 1988 Excellent source for the Native American viewpoint Despite the authors name, he has Indian ancestry, as do many contemporary author's do today. Non-Indians expect to see traditional names like Sitting Bull as writers. Due to many reasons, the first Americans have changed names or had them changed for them over a long period of time; a sad fact in itself. This book, as you might guess from the title, is often blunt, sometimes in your face. But it ...             Speaking of Indians Ella Cara Deloria Bison Books, 1998 Ella Deloria could speak intimately about Indian ways because she belonged to a Yankton Sioux family. A distinguished scholar who studied with Franz Boas at Columbia University, she had the gift of language and the understanding necessary to bridge races. Originally published in 1944, this book is an important source of information about Dakota culture and a classic in its elegant clarity of insight. Beginning with a general discussion of ...             Native American Testimony: A Chronicle of Indian-White Relations from Prophecy to the Present, 1942-2000 (rev ...8 reviews Penguin (Non-Classics), 1999 Eye Opening Native Americans have been fighting for ages to tell their side of the story, but they haven't been able to get through to the mainstream. In this book, Nabokov presents us the Native American perspective from prophecy to present. By reading the testimony of Native Americans themselves, we get a clear picture of their plight. This book doesn't give a detailed history of Native Americans, but ...             Iroquois on Fire: A Voice from the Mohawk Nation2 reviews Douglas M. George-Kanentiio University of Nebraska Press, 2008 Required Reading Author Doug George-Kanentiio writes from within the struggle, to shed light on the on-going struggles of the People of the Longhouse to save their sacred traditions and land from the contemporary seduction of money and political clout. Recommended reading for those seeking the inside story on a quintessentially American saga. Not to be missed. A 21st century journalist reporting on the ...             Reading and Writing the Lakota Language12 reviews Albert White Hat Sr. University of Utah Press, 1999 Thank You, Albert White Hat This is easily the best language text I've seen. As Vine Deloria says in the Foreword, "Traditionally, grammar textbooks are about as exciting as military memos... Reading them is laborious to such an extreme that the reader could conclude that the Prussians are responsible for all linguistic studies." Not this book! This is the first language textbook that has made me laugh, made me cry. ...             American Indians, American Justice1 review Vine, Jr. Deloria, Clifford M. Lytle University of Texas Press, 1983 Best Starting Point If one is interested in Native American law or the injustice of the decisions that make it up, this is a good starting point.

Wilkins University of Texas Press, 2000 A good starting place for the interested novice This book is a good starting place for those just entering the world of Tribal Law. This a college freshman level book. Not for heavy-duty legal scholars. I like it because it shows the clear lineage of Treaties, the Constitution, and key US Supreme Court decisions from the earliest days (Colonial days) to now.             Every Day Is a Good Day: Reflections by Contemporary Indigenous Women5 reviews Wilma Mankiller, Vine, Jr. Deloria, ... Fulcrum Publishing, 2004 A book to savor Wilma Mankiller, along with a distinguished and talented cast of other Indian women, have created a book to savor in Every Day is a Good Day. Their highly individual perspectives on spirituality, history, culture, and womanhood should appeal to men as well as women and people of all cultures. The book dispels a number of myths long held by non-Indians who may be well-meaning but poorly informed. ...             Crazy Horse, Third Edition: The Strange Man of the Oglalas, Third Edition Mari Sandoz Bison Books, 2008 Crazy Horse, the legendary military leader of the Oglala Sioux whose personal power and social nonconformity contributed to his reputation as being ?strange,? fought in many famous battles, including the Little Bighorn, and held out tirelessly against the U.S. government?s efforts to confine the Lakotas to reservations.
