“There are some things you can’t learn from a book, some traditions and ways of thinking that can’t be gleaned from the written word.This is what I learn when I go to the reservations. I don’t speak as much as I listen. I watch and I learn. And I give these, my observations, to you in my books.”A once proud civilization is now pushed aside and suppressed by a more dominate culture.
