The Book of Elders: The Life Stories of Great American Indians

"Many books have been written about the American Indian by non-Indians; this one is written by elders in their own words. They speak openly of their personal struggles to stay on the path against impossible odds. Their stories, of what they have lost and what they have fought to save, are both tragic and heroic. They provide a deep and profound look into the lives and hearts of these extraordinary-often supernatural-men and women."-- Introduction.
