A Pima Remembers

126 Pages. A book never read with flawless interior text pages. This book follows a different pattern from so many books about American Indians. It does not have a militant ring, It is not accusing. It does not denouce American materialism in contrast with the spiritual values of American Indian cultures. Yet it is clear that the stoy of Georlge Webb's family is in the context of the appropriation of Pima water and land by whites and also with deep feeling for the old life that has been lost. Moreover, the sometimes mordant humor with which George Webb tells hsi story carries an indictmnet of some of the behavior of Anglo-Americans towards Indians during the past century. The point is that in George Webb's hands the unviersal story of the American Indian is told with a balance that emphasisex stisfactions and achievements in Indian life, not neglecting these to dwell on the injustices and sufferings.
