Description Ojibwa Warrior: Dennis Banks and the Rise of the American Indian Movement by Dennis Banks, Richard Erdoes 4.24 of 5 stars 4.24 · rating details · 135 ratings · 18 reviews Dennis Banks, an American Indian of the Ojibwa Tribe and a founder of the American Indian Movement, is one of the most influential Indian leaders of our time. In Ojibwa Warrior, written with acclaimed writer and photographer Richard Erdoes, Banks tells his own story for the first time and also traces the rise of the American Indian Movement (AIM). The authors present an insider’s understanding of AIM protest events—the Trail of Broken Treaties march to Washington, D.C.; the resulting takeover of the BIA building; the riot at Custer, South Dakota; and the 1973 standoff at Wounded Knee. Enhancing the narrative are dramatic photographs, most taken by Richard Erdoes, depicting key people and events. This is an amazing biography and story; one of the best that I've read. Not only is the tale told exceptional in and of itself, but it is beautifully told. The experience is enhanced by the various forms of documentation: direct quotes and pictures. You feel for the cause of the American Indian Movement whether or not you are a member, whether or not you are and American Indian. This book is inspirational.  Dennis Banks (born April 12, 1937), a Native American leader, teacher, lecturer, activist and author, is an Anishinaabe born on Leech Lake Indian Reservation in northern Minnesota. Banks is also known as Nowa Cumig (Naawakamig in the Double Vowel System). His name in the Ojibwe language means "In the Center of the Universe." He has been a longtime leader of the American Indian Movement, which he cofounded in 1968 with Native Americans in Minneapolis. Sharing Widget |
