One Voice Rising: The Life of Clifford Duncan - Hardcover

One Voice Rising is a memoir by Ute healer, elder, and historian Clifford Duncan, as told to Anglo writer, Linda Sillitoe. Duncan (1933&;2014) was an inspiring leader and a powerful medicine man, and he was, as Sillitoe wrote, &;simultaneously one of the most bicultural and traditional American Indians in the West.&; Duncan here covers both personal and tribal history during a crucial period in the tribe&;s development. His discussions with Sillitoe offer a unique look at individual and societal issues, including the Native American Church, powwows and tribal celebrations, and interactions with the larger world. George Janecek&;s photographs of Clifford Duncan and his world expand the impact of Duncan&;s words.
 
&;Everything was Indian then, when I was a boy. They had to explain to us about the white man's side. Now everything is in the white man's world and we teach Indian ways.&;
