To Be An Indian: An Oral History (Borealis Book S.) - Softcover

Von der hinteren Coverseite

In this remarkable collection of transcribed oral histories, first published in 1971, members of Dakota, Lakota, Winnebago, and other communities tell of their personal experiences: reservation life, the Great Depression, self-government, traditions, and life in the 1960s. Together these voices present a rich and complicated view of what it is to be an American Indian. Historians Joseph H. Cash and Herbert T. Hoover selected for this book fifty-two interviews from more than eight hundred conducted by the American Indian Research Project at the University of South Dakota.
