À propos de cet audio

"I had a profoundly well-educated Princetonian ask me, 'Where is your tomahawk?' I had a beautiful woman approach me in the college gymnasium and exclaim, 'You have the most beautiful red skin.' I took a friend to see Dances with Wolves and was told, 'Your people have a beautiful culture.'...I made many lifelong friends at college, and they supported but also challenged me with questions like, 'Why should Indians have reservations?'"

What have you always wanted to know about Indians? Do you think you should already know the answers-or suspect that your questions may be offensive? In matter-of-fact responses to over 120 questions, both thoughtful and outrageous, modern and historical, Ojibwe scholar and cultural preservationist Anton Treuer gives a frank, funny, and sometimes personal tour of what's up with Indians, anyway.

White/Indian relations are often characterized by guilt and anger. Everything You Wanted to Know about Indians but Were Afraid to Ask cuts through the emotion and builds a foundation for true understanding and positive action.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Straightforward, fascinating, funny, and often wise, Everything You Wanted to Know about Indians But Were Afraid to Ask is a wonderful resource for non-Indians and Indians too. (There are plenty of things we want to know about each other.) It is that rare thing - an informational and entertaining read." (Louise Erdrich)

I always appreciate learning more and hearing new perspectives from Indigenous voices. This book details Terminology, History, Religion, Culture, Identity, Powwows, Tribal languages, Politics, Economics, Education, and Future Directions. It details relationships within Indigenous communities and between Indigenous communities and colonial institutions (and the products of those institutions). It did mention both America and Canada, but I found that the politics and history were more American-focused (not a bad thing, just a consideration!). A big theme is that people should strive to understand Indigenous people as opposed to imagining who they are, and this is a great book to start (or continue) your understanding of Indigenous culture.

Great book and well narrated
