Book excerpt: "Aren't We Sioux Enough" this is the story of the University of North Dakota, Fighting Sioux controversy through the eyes of the Dakota Sioux supporters Tribal Members on the Spirit Lake Nation. It tells of the confusion they faced, when doing what was asked of them, only to find road blocks at every turn. You will walk with them as their joy and pride turns into confusion, then into hurt, then to anger, as they come to learn just who they are actually fighting in this quest to remove an 80 year tradition. You well come to understand how 80 years of honorable and respected tradition is transformed into a distorted and disgusting sham. "Aren't We Sioux Enough" exposes Political Correctness for what it truly is. It tells the story of how PC was used to deceive the public of truth, to gain a personal victory during the battle from 2007 till 2012 for a small group. It was used to justify how a small "supposedly caring" group of the PC crowd, covered up their true intentions. The deceit used against Native American Indians for centuries is alive and well today and is exposed in this book. Only the actors names have changed in the last 200 years, but the results are the same "Native American Indians must be minimized and ignored."

Book Synopsis Every Warrior Has His Own Song by : Alan B. Walker
Download or read book Every Warrior Has His Own Song written by Alan B. Walker and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010-11-10 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the worthless treaties were signed and it was time to move the Ho-Chunk/Winnebago nation, the people took only what they could carry on their backs. There isnt a person alive today who can describe the atrocities, hardships, and deprivation their ancestors faced while being moved from their land to a strange place, unable to travel or live where their ancestors were buried. No longer could they provide food and lodging for their families; they had to depend on the government for monthly rations of food, blankets, and medical attention. Every Warrior Has His Own Song explores the history and culture of the Winnebago and Ho-Chunk peoples, as well as the personal history of the family of author Alan B. Walker. Patriotic and fiercely loyal to this country and the land of their ancestors, they show respect to the returning veterans of any war. As Walker grew older, he knew that he wanted to be a warrior and wondered if he had the right stuff; in the course of his exploration of his peoples culture, he also tells the story of his service in Vietnam. Every Warrior Has His Own Song touches on the history and modern life of the Ho- Chunk/Winnebago nation as well as the story of the Hatchett family, telling a timeless and relevant tale of bravery. It is an amazing read. I had a hard time putting it down. I believe this book should be a part of every high schools history teachings. It angered me to see what the U.S. Government has done over and over to these Native American Indians. Why have a treaty if you're not going to stand behind it? I was also amazed by the courage of this writer. His service to this country, like his Grandfathers is one of pride and courage. I'm amazed and glad that Alan B. Walker lived through the Vietnam war so that his story and that of his people could be told. -Aron

Download or read book Bitterroot written by Kent Gramm and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-10-27 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever.” These words of Chief Joseph concluded a thousand-mile odyssey of 750 Nez Perce adults, children, and their elderly. Pursued by the US Army and Cavalry, the Nimiipuu fought battles, crossed the forbidding Bitterroot Mountains with their herds, and maintained their humanity and heritage against overwhelming odds. Bitterroot is dramatized history, giving voice to Joseph, Looking Glass, White Necklace, Half Man Half Woman, Howard “The Christian Soldier,” Calamity Jane, and Yellowstone Kelley—providing a mirror with which to see ourselves today. It portrays a conflicted America: racism, religious intolerance, and greed at war with liberty and equality. Such an epic story reminds us of our common humanity. “It is for the young generation behind us,” said Yellow Wolf. “I want the next generation of whites to know and treat the Indians as themselves.”

Davis, is a guard for an inspector from the general land office who is investigating a fraudulent eighteen-township survey in the vicinity of the Niobrara River. A romance with and marriage to a widow with three children is weaved in the story. The inspector determines the fraud and undertakes to perform the contract and pursue the guilty party. The guilty fight back, attempting murder to stop the report. Davis kills the assassin among the defrauders, known as the Spook, and takes his horse. Davis possesses both a Spencer repeating rifle and a Whitworth sharpshooting rifle through the effort of his wealthy father. A dead shot from an early age with muzzle loaders, Davis has the first repeating rifle seen by the Brule Sioux Indians who are a threat to the surveying. A survivor of the destroyed defrauders sets the Brule Sioux Indians on the surveyors by shooting into the Brule village from a horse that is identified as the Spook horse. The Brule are divided partly because the Spook horse is seen in different places at the same times. A battle takes place in which Davis destroys an entire Brule force and has the army bury all the bodies in a mysterious place and way. The Sioux elders eventually confront Davis with their demand for the bodies, and an interesting finish to the novel takes place.

Book Synopsis The Deadwood Trail by : Ralph Compton
Download or read book The Deadwood Trail written by Ralph Compton and published by St. Martin's Paperbacks. This book was released on 1999-01-15 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They had beaten the harsh odds of the frontier. But for the two powerful ranchers, the most formidable trail lay ahead. There had never been a trail drive like this before... The only riches Texans had left after the Civil War were five million maverick longhorns and the brains, brawn, and boldness to drive them to market along treacherous trails. Now, Ralph Compton brings this violent and magnificent time to life in an extraordinary series based on the history-blazing trail drives. For veteran ranchers Nelson Story of Montana, and Benton McCaleb of Wyoming, it was an opportunity a man didn't pass up. In gold camps of the Black Hills, miners were hungry for beef, at boomtown prices. But within the two outfits were Indians, gunmen, Texans, lovesick cowboys, and high-spirited women. Worse, the drive would pass through Crow and Sioux territory, when Custer's defeat at the Little Big Horn was just hours away. The drives were tangled by violent grudges, stampeding herds, and dangerous deception. The two brawling outfits had one thing in common: a deadly surprise awaiting them at the end of the trail...
