We Are a People in This World, the Lakota Sioux, Massacre at Wounded Knee (C)

We Are A People In This World: The Lakota Sioux And The Massacre At Wounded Knee by journalist Conger Beasley Jr. recounts the 1890 massacre of the Lakota Sioux at Wounded Knee, blending a grimly defining episode of Native American history with the author's personal story of participating in the commemorative Big Foot Memorial Ride some one hundred years after the slaughter. A compelling account that includes oral testimony from some who survived the killing, poignant and highly recommended historical event, We Are A People In This World is an invaluable and recommended contribution to Native American Studies reference collections and supplemental reading lists.

Having read all 0f Beasley's books, I am surprised that he justkeeps getting better. This book is an example of how an authorwithout an agenda can inform a book with honesty and make you want to read everything on the subject.
