For what it means to be part Native American in America these days I recommend Louise Erdrich, who writes like an angel. Definitely agree.

For what it means to be part Native American in America these days.. a fellow SI member recomended these to me as good reading material re American Indians : "...An author I followed for years up until recently is Vine Deloria, a Sioux from South Dakota. He’s written a lot of books on more contemporary Indian issues, but there’s a great deal more in his books along the way. Here are some of them American Indians, American Justice Red Earth, White Lies God is Red Custer Died for Your Sins He’s also written the introduction or forward to a couple of books, and I would like to look at them myself. This what I found after a quick search: Reading and Writing the Lakota Language: by Albert White Hat, with a forward by Vine Deloria Black Elk Speaks, Being the Life Story of a Holy Man of the Oglala Sioux, As Told to John G. Neihardt, with an introduction by Vine Deloria This last book was very popular btw in the social sciences back in the 70’s. One of the few accounts of its type. Another one of that type that comes to mind, and that I liked, was called "Two Leggings," but I can't remember any more than that about the title or author. ("Two Leggings" was the name of a Sioux from the early 19th century, and this was his story.)..."

When I was driving back from the Grand Canyon, I stopped over at a variety shop in the middle of nowhere. The owner is an Indian and has decorated his shop with many items from the past. Hanging right in your face at the entrance, is an original newspaper clipping of Custer's demise. It was rather interesting how the article described the "savages" who had committed the greatest crime against the noble General...if you pass by, I recommend stopping for supplies. She also makes wicked ice creams which she sells dirt cheap. ST
