Native American Voices

Forsideomslag
VNR AG, 1994 - 180 sider
The history of the American "Indian", both past and present, has been encompassed by myth and caricature. Concentrating on the Native American nations of the "lower forty-eighty", Native American Voices surveys tribal groups, their life before the European conquerors arrived, religious encounters, current beliefs, and their history of pain. Written to inform and challenge the average reader as well as the professional, this account goes beyond history to assess continuing justice issues and immense problems that face the Native American community today. The book presents research data and the need for response. Say the authors: "Only a change of opinion and a clear insight by the majority of this land will end the debilitating prejudice that senselessly contributes to the Native Americans' modern history of pain".
