Heartbeat of Wounded Knee: Native America from 1890 to the Present

Too often American history treats the story of Native Americans as a tragedy that ended at the 1890 massacre at Wounded Knee. This book by an Ojibwe anthropologist and author challenges that narrative shows the intense and complex struggles of indigenous nations to preserve their families, languages, traditions, and their very existence from the 19th century to the present day. This essential book mixes memoir, reportage, and history to provide a complicated, nuanced, and profound account of the changes in native life and the emergence of resistance and resilience that continue today.
