Omschrijving

""Firewater And Forked Tongues: A Sioux Chief Interprets U.S. History"" is a book written by M.I. McCreight that presents a unique perspective on American history from the viewpoint of a Sioux chief. The book is a collection of essays and speeches given by Chief Luther Standing Bear, who was a prominent figure in the early 20th century Native American rights movement. The essays cover a range of topics, including the impact of European colonization on Native American communities, the treatment of Native Americans by the United States government, and the struggle for Native American sovereignty. Chief Standing Bear also discusses his own experiences growing up on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, and the importance of preserving Native American culture and traditions.Throughout the book, Chief Standing Bear's writing is characterized by a deep respect for his people's history and traditions, as well as a strong sense of justice and fairness. He is critical of the injustices and atrocities committed against Native Americans throughout history, but he also offers hope for a better future, emphasizing the importance of education and unity among Native American communities.Overall, ""Firewater And Forked Tongues"" provides a compelling and insightful perspective on American history, one that is often overlooked or ignored in traditional historical accounts. It is a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for Native American rights and sovereignty, and a call to action for all those who seek to build a more just and equitable society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
