The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee<\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n

by David Treuer<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you care about fairness and justice this is a disturbing book. It is also a book about hope. The Native Americans were totally defeated by 1900 their number were down to about 300,000 people. Now 120 years later there are over 3 million Native Americans and they have lots of success stories. The book includes a very good short history of the Native American experience. It is eye opening. That story about deliberately spreading smallpox did happen.<\/p>\n

If you have the time read this book and talk to me about it. I need to understand more about how to get defeated people back into the game. Using this template on the Arab\/Israeli conflict could be useful. Or Turks vs Kurds. Think about this: most of what we (European Americans) tried to do to mitigate the results of the conquest failed. Great book. A nine on my arbitrary one to ten scale. The highest score I’ve given yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
