EAGLE VISION: Return Of The Hoop
by McGaa, Ed
ISBN: 0964517361
Publisher: Four Directions Publishing
It is my duty to see that this powerful story goes out to the world. The
Nation, the environment, Mother Earth and your children seeking -
Nature`s health-filled solitude, its freedom and vast mysteries; all will be
the better for it.
Non-Indian writers lamented our past yet avoided the real past. Too
often they wrote in a superior, paternalistic style. Some exceptions,
however, were the truthful, respectful works of Neihardt, J. Epes Brown
and Jack Weatherford. Too often, Native writers, story tellers and artists
had to patronize non-Indian publishers in order to be published or,
customarily had the
white man write their
books for them. Other
Native writers simply
avoided religious and
historical oppression,
knowing that they stood
little chance of being
published. Some have
touched on the edge but
none have donned their
warbonnets and plunged
headlong into what
really happened. This is
an Indian book. It has an
Indian Publisher, an
extremely talented Indian Artist who does not hold back and a fearless
Indian Author - who tells a true story of a people who regained their
Hoop. There is no dilution! What is fictional or `mystery` within these
pages - is obvious.
