From the Heart: Voices of the American Indian

An inspiring, colorful, and well-written account of the history of Indian people. Ms. Miller has a unique and riveting way of presenting the material, in story form, through the vast testimonies of people who actually experienced it. We are given glimpses of a way of life and a relationship with the earth that are scare among modern people. I highly recommend this book.

OBVIOUSLY THIS WORK IS FROM A PRO--PROFESSINAL EDITOR WHOSE WORK COLLECTS, ORGANIZES AND COMMENTS ON SPEECHES AND DOCUMENTS THAT WE, AS A NATION, TEND TO FORGET OR IGNORE. WHEN WILL MS. MILLER DO ANOTHER BOOK? SOON, I HOPE!

A compassionate, inspiring book about the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Set against the backdrop of the European/American/Indian wars, we are able to hear the stunningly eloquent and heroic words of Indian people themselves who fought with tremendous courage for a lifestyle worth keeping. This is an inspiring book - if these leaders can have such strength in the face of such numbing sadness, certainly we can take a lesson from this and better face our much smaller problems of today. Also surprising and never seen before are the number of Indian nations whose speeches are included in the book - from the Assateague to the Tolowa - many, many nations are heard.
