Book excerpt: Nasdijj was born in 1950s America to migrant parents-a white cowboy father and a tenderhearted Navajo mother. Surviving the brutal conditions of migrant camps in Texas, Florida, Oklahoma, and North Carolina, Nasdijj and his little brother, Tso, raced trains and found sanctuary in Navajo stories they had heard at bedtime, whispered tales about Spider Woman, Sa, Geronimo, and Coyote. After their mother's tragic death from alcohol, the young brothers were left in the care of their sometimes indifferent, often abusive, occasionally loving father. Rarely in school, the boys picked cotton, tomatoes, potatoes, apples, peaches, beans, and artichokes. Eventually, to escape this indentured servitude, Nasdijj and Tso stole a car and ran away. Told in brilliant flashes of poetry, narrative, and song, Geronimo's Bones reveals a world that to this day remains hidden from most Americans. But Nasdijj's work derives its special power from his ability to capture the universal emotions that we all share: hate and love, loss and remembrance. Book jacket.

Book excerpt: On February 17,1909 in the dark heart of winter, the great Apache leader, Geronimo, dies of pneumonia after spending 23 years as a prisoner of war of the United States. His death makes front-page news in the New York Times. Days later, a young Marine recovering from battle wounds in Cuba, learns about Geronimo¿s death. He is known to the Marine Forces Command as Corporal Frank Kidd but his real name is Chaco, and he is Geronimo¿s nephew. Orphaned at birth, Chaco was toughened by the cruelties of the white man¿s Indian school, and hardened by three years of guerrilla warfare in the 1906 Cuban Pacification Campaign. Now, he is at the end of his enlistment and returns to Fort Sill¿s Apache POW camp where he plans to take his adoptive mother and sister west to freedom. Yet upon his return, long held secrets are revealed: Chaco is not Geronimo¿s nephew, but, in fact, the old warrior¿s last son. And his father¿s final wish was that he be buried `in the country that knows my name¿. To fulfill this dying wish, Chaco must first free his sister from a brothel in the nearby township of Lawton, and dig up Geronimo¿s bones.The escape plan goes awry, and in freeing his sister, two white men end up dead. Once an honored hero, now a hunted outlaw, he and his sister race west in a stolen motor car in a desperate bid for freedom. As the last free Apache, he must pay the price of new won freedom with blood, in one of the largest unrecorded manhunts of the 20th century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **2022 Will Rogers Medallion Award Silver Winner for Western Biographies and Memoirs** Two Native American leaders who left a lasting legacy, Geronimo and Sitting Bull. Most Americans and many people worldwide have heard these two famous names. Today, however, the general public knows little about the lives of these great leaders. During the second half of the nineteenth century when they opposed white intrusion and expansion into their territories, just the mention of their names could spark fear or anger. After they surrendered to the army and lived in captivity, they evoked curiosity and sympathy for the plight of the American Indian. Author Bill Markley offers a thoughtful and entertaining examination of these legendary lives in this new joint biography of these two great leaders. .

Book excerpt: The name "Geronimo" came to Corine Sombrun insistently in a trance during her apprenticeship to a Mongolian shaman. That message and the need to understand its meaning brought her to the home of the legendary Apache leader's great-grandson, Harlyn Geronimo, himself a medicine man on the Mescalero Apache reservation in New Mexico. Together, the two of them—the French seeker and the Native American healer—would make a pilgrimage that retraced Geronimo's life while following the course of the Gila River to the place of his birth, at its source. Told in the alternating voices of its authors, In Geronimo's Footsteps is the record of that journey. At its core is an account of Geronimo's life, from his earliest days in a Chiricahua Apache family and his path as a warrior and chief to his surrender and the years spent in exile until his death, at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Recounted by his great-grandson, his story is steeped in family history and Apache lore to create a portrait of a leader intent on defending his people and their land and traditions—a mission that Harlyn continues, even as he campaigns to recover his ancestor's bones from the U.S. government. Completing Corine's circle, the book also explores the links, genetic and possibly cultural, between the Apache and the people of Mongolia.

Book excerpt: This “meticulous and finely researched” biography tracks the Apache raider’s life from infamous renegade to permanent prisoner of war (Publishers Weekly). Notorious for his ferocity in battle and uncanny ability to elude capture, the Apache fighter Geronimo became a legend in his own time and remains an iconic figure of the nineteenth century American West. In Geronimo, renowned historian Robert M. Utley digs beneath the myths and rumors to produce an authentic and thoroughly researched portrait of the man whose unique talents and human shortcomings swept him into the fierce storms of history. Utley draws on an array of newly available sources, including firsthand accounts and military reports, as well as his geographical expertise and deep knowledge of the conflicts between whites and Native Americans. This highly accurate and vivid narrative unfolds through the alternating perspectives of whites and Apaches, arriving at a more nuanced understanding of Geronimo’s character and motivation than ever before. What was it like to be an Apache fighter-in-training? Why was Geronimo feared by whites and Apaches alike? Why did he finally surrender after remaining free for so long? The answers to these and many other questions fill the pages of this authoritative volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "Muting White Noise," James H. Cox considers how Native authors have liberated our imaginations from colonial narratives. Cox takes his title from Sherman Alexie, for whom the white noise of a television set represents the white mass-produced culture that mutes American Indian voices. Cox foregrounds the work of Native intellectuals in his readings of the American Indian novel tradition. He thereby develops a critical perspective from which to re-see the role played by the Euro-American novel tradition in justifying and enabling colonialism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western Heritage Award, Best Western Nonfiction Book, National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum Nothing can change the terrible facts of the Sand Creek Massacre. The human toll of this horrific event and the ensuing loss of a way of life have never been fully recounted until now. In Sand Creek and the Tragic End of a Lifeway, Louis Kraft tells this story, drawing on the words and actions of those who participated in the events at this critical time. The history that culminated in the end of a lifeway begins with the arrival of Algonquin-speaking peoples in North America, proceeds through the emergence of the Cheyennes and Arapahos on the Central Plains, and ends with the incursion of white people seeking land and gold. Beginning in the earliest days of the Southern Cheyennes, Kraft brings the voices of the past to bear on the events leading to the brutal murder of people and its disastrous aftermath. Through their testimony and their deeds as reported by contemporaries, major and supporting players give us a broad and nuanced view of the discovery of gold on Cheyenne and Arapaho land in the 1850s, followed by the land theft condoned by the U.S. government. The peace treaties and perfidy, the unfolding massacre and the investigations that followed, the devastating end of the Indians’ already-circumscribed freedom—all are revealed through the eyes of government officials, newspapers, and the military; Cheyennes and Arapahos who sought peace with or who fought Anglo-Americans; whites and Indians who intermarried and their offspring; and whites who dared to question what they considered heinous actions. As instructive as it is harrowing, the history recounted here lives on in the telling, along with a way of life destroyed in all but cultural memory. To that memory this book gives eloquent, resonating voice.
