American Indian Mafia: An FBI Agent's True Story about Wounded Knee, Leonard Peltier, and the American Indian ... 15 reviews
Joseph H. Trimbach, John M. Trimbach
Outskirts Press, 2007
Should replace the history books with this!
This is an eye opening book. You cannot help but sit there reading and have the feeling of utter frustration and embarrassment at the same time when reading about the many court officials and jurists who seem to have no clue or are just blatantly breaking the law themselves.
Thank you to Mr. Trimbach for writing this!

Indian Research
This book was an outstanding tool in researching the Indians of Crow Creek Reservation. I am doing research on a friend's family and was astounded at what I did NOT know about Indian history.

On the Rez72 reviews
Ian Frazier
Picador, 2001
Highly recommended account of people, not stereotypes
I can't say enough good things about this book. It was wonderful to read as well as haunting me for days afterward.
The "rez" of the title is the Pine Ridge Reservation of the Oglala Sioux. The book deals with the Oglala Sioux both on the rez and in scattered other places, as far away as New York and New Jersey. He includes some history and "historical" characters up through Russell Means ...

Secrets on the Wind: Secrets on the Wind/Watchers on the Hill/Footprints on the Horizon (Pine Ridge Portraits ...6 reviews
Stephanie Grace Whitson
Bethany House, 2008
Obviously an opening series winner!
Stephanie Grace Whitson has done it again with this one! Indians play a part, the Army an even larger part-- as well as various and sundry "orphans and abused victims" all of which sway the reader one way or the other.
She portrays Laina in a positive light in spite of her infamous and horrible past. Boone is a leader in the Army who just cannot move on past the death of his wife 2 years ...

Vic Glover
Native Voices, 2004
Keeping Heart
This is a beautiful collection of short stories and is a real life account of living on in Indian reservation in todays modern times.
Vic Glover has an amazing talent and style of writing that 'just takes you right there'.
With much humour and sadness, Vic takes you on a journey, that whets the appetite, always leaving you wanting to read more.
This is a great read, I highly recommend it.

Ruling Pine Ridge: Oglala Lakota Politics from the Ira to Wounded Knee (Plains Histories) (Plains Histories)3 reviews
Akim D. Reinhardt
Texas Tech University Press, 2007
An important book on a neglected topic
Quite a bit has been written about the Oglala Lakota and their history in the 1800s. How many more books about Crazy Horse do we need anyway?
After the Wounded Knee Tragedy of 1890, scholars and popular historians seem to lose interest in the Lakota.
They're still here, and the Pine Ridge Reservation, where the Oglala reside, has become infamous as one of the poorest places in the world's ...

The Dull Knifes of Pine Ridge: A Lakota Odyssey9 reviews
Joe Starita
Bison Books, 2002
Being a Lakota
I would never have read this book had I not been assigned a project dealing with Chief Dull Knife's death march from Indian Territory. I picked it up and got plenty of information about that historical event. Reading on, I discovered a great deal more. In addition to tracing four generations of Dull Knifes, this book is one of the most comprehensive and attractive histories of the Lakota people ...

Formal Education in an American Indian Community: Peer Society and the Failure of Minority Education1 review
Murray Lionel Wax, Rosalie H. Wax, ...
Waveland Press, 1989
Anthropological analysis
This book brings a theorectical analysis of the subject of american Indian education that is still fresh today. The problems associated with Indian education raised in this text are sadly still with us and much of the reason for that continuing problem can be found in the failure of the educators, whose job it is to teach American Indian youth, to follow some of the suggestions contained in ...
