Description:
As you walk out of your front door tomorrow morning, look down. Look to
your left and to your right. Touch the earth: the concrete, the
sidewalk, or whatever surrounds you. Undoubtedly you will be touching
the layered coverings of the remains of indigenous peoples. Not
arrowheads, not broken pieces of pottery - but the very DNA of the first
peoples of this continent.
For five centuries - from Columbus's arrival in 1492 to the U.S. Army's
massacre of Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee in the 1890s, to the renewed
assault in the 1970s - our continent's indigenous people endured the
most massive and systematic act of genocide in the history of the world.
In Eating Fire, Tasting Blood, forty established and up-and-coming
American Indian writers from disparate nations and tribes offer stirring
reflections on the history of their people. This is not a collection of
essays about Native Americans but rather a collection BY Native
Americans - the story of native holocaust on a tribe-by-tribe level as
told by those few who have been fortunate enough to survive. Included
are original essays by Vine Deloria Jr., Paula Gunn Allen, Linda Hogan,
and Eduardo Galeano
