Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book sets out to challenge the savagery often ascribed to the American Indian and explore the tragic consequences of cultural conflict on the Great Plains in the United States in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The author positions the experiences of his people within the historical context of the forced removal, reservation life, and the tension created by the often contradictory policies of the powerful nation surrounding them. The narrative is not limited to historical events: it's a rich exploration of the values, traditions, and customs of the Native people, from their connection with the land to their social and spiritual practices. Through a moving story of a Native American boy growing up amid dramatic change, the book conveys the struggle against prejudice, oppression, and the fight to maintain a unique cultural identity. This book provides an invaluable perspective on a crucial chapter in American history, and illuminates both the tragedy and beauty of the human spirit confronted by injustice.

An autobiography by an anonymous author, now identified as William Justin Harsha, who gives an Indigenous perspective of the treatment and history of Indigenous Peoples in the United States. Introduction by Inshta Theamba, also known as "Bright Eyes." In his Introduction, Theamba pointedly summarizes the hardships Indigenous Peoples have endured and continue to endure as "wards" of the U.S. government. He explains that under this special "designation," Indigenous Peoples have severely limited rights and can only take action through government agents. He also notes how Indigenous Peoples have been systematically murdered or sent to reservations. Toward the end of the Introduction, Theamba writes, "As the author has so graphically depicted, the hugh plough of the 'Indian system" has run for a hundred years, beam deep, turning down into the darkness of the earth every hope and aspiration which we have cherished. The sod is rich with the blood of human beings of both races. What sort of a harvest, think you, will it yield in the future to the nation whose hand has guided the plough?"

Home!," "A Vain Sacrifice," "An Empty Success," "Blindfolded Justice," "Kind Face and Gray Coat," "The Bridal Eye," "Blood-Hounds and Lunacy," "Little Swallow Takes the Trail," "The Peril of Prairie Flower," "Returning Reason," "Chopping Logic," "Ploughed Under," and "The Two Voices.".
