Signed by George R. Janecek (Photographer) and by Carolyn Janecek (Preface By). One Voice Rising is a memoir by Ute healer, elder, and historian Clifford Duncan, as told to Anglo writer, Linda Sillitoe. Duncan (1933 to 2014) was an inspiring leader and a powerful medicine man, and he was, as Sillitoe wrote, simultaneously one of the most bicultural and traditional American Indians in the West. Duncan here covers both personal and tribal history during a crucial period in the tribe?s development. His discussions with Sillitoe offer a unique look at individual and societal issues, including the Native American Church, powwows and tribal celebrations, and interactions with the larger world.
