Book Reviews of In the Spirit of Crazy Horse
Book Review: Compelling yet sad.
Summary: 5 Stars
Although he admits his sympathies are with the Indians, the author has produced a remarkably thorough and sound case against the FBI's reign of terror against the American Indian Movement. But has the exposure in this book or other outrageous incidents throughout history made much difference when it comes to the acts of the white man? Sadly, no. In reality, nothing can ever make it right again. Will Leonard Peltier eventually be free? I doubt there is a white man or black man, for that matter, who has the courage to do so. I fear that only in death will that happen. Make no mistake, though, Peltier is no hero...and no martyr...but just another high-profile symbol of the injustices against Indians in this white man country. Although tremendously enlightening I couldn't help but wonder as I finished this book why Peter (or someone) has not done an update...although I understand little can or has been done to change things. I also couldn't help but fantasize about what the US government could do now as a token towards the Native American. Maybe unite as many tribes as possible and GIVE the Indians Yellowstone, Rainier, Yosemite,Zion National Parks...as well as the Mark Twain National Forest for their separate nation or states. As you might have guessed, I believe that Matthiessen has done a masterful job. Let Spirit live on...
