Omschrijving
A book in which various well-known and lesser-known Native Americans talk about life from the indigenous perspective, their views on white people, and the problems of not respecting nature and other people in an ever-changing world.The most essential part of the book is presentations of quotes by Geronimo, Sitting Bull, Chief Joseph, Gertrude S. Bonnin, Tecumseh and many others. The common denominator is a temperate view on life that can inspire people nowadays as the quotes are simply timeless.Again, the key part of the book is the quotes - or their own words. To make the reading experience more interesting there is also a short introductory essay, maps, biographies and many photographs and images. All this combined probably makes it the most thorough book of its kind.And finally some food for thought:"When the last tree is cut,the last fish is caught,and the last river is polluted;when to breathe the air is sickening,you will realize, too late,that wealth is not in bank accountsand that you cannot eat money."
