Description
In this searching work of reportage and cultural reflection, Peter Matthiessen examines the enduring struggle of Native American communities to protect their lands, traditions, and sovereignty amid the pressures of American expansion and capitalism. Drawing on encounters with peoples including the Miccosukee, Hopi, Cherokee, and Mohawk, he explores the history of dispossession and the continuing encroachment on sacred ground. Compassionate, vividly observed, and deeply concerned with justice, the book presents a multifaceted portrait of Indigenous resilience and the urgent effort to preserve cultural identity in a changing nation.
