The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee: Native America From 1890 to the Present

Treuer, David

Synopsis:

By way of personal history and anthropological research, David Treuer (Ojibwe) provides an alternative narrative to Dee Brown's Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. He documents how 125 years of discrimination, repression and broken promises did not defeat and diminish Native Americans in their quest for justice, but strengthened their pursuit for what is rightfully theirs.
