Book Reviews of Prison Writings: My Life Is My Sun Dance
Book Review: Amazing Book by a Crucified Lakotah
Summary: 1 Stars
Today Leonard Peltier had a parole hearing so he was in my prayers and many other people's prayers here locally today. So I thought I'd write this review. Even the Attorney General has admitted that he isn't guilty of any crimes, yet he's allowed to remain in confinement. Such a sad, corrupt society we're living in today. His poems are very beautiful and the book is a great read. I'm giving it one star because five stars wouldn't have been enough.
Summary of Prison Writings: My Life Is My Sun Dance
Edited by Harvey Arden, with an Introduction by Chief Arvol Looking Horse, and a Preface by former Attorney General Ramsey Clark.In 1977, Leonard Peltier received a life sentence for the murder of two FBI agents. He has affirmed his innocence ever since-his case was made fully and famously in Peter Matthiessen's bestselling In the Spirit of Crazy Horse-and many remain convinced he was wrongly convicted. This wise and unsettling book, both memoir and manifesto, chronicles his life in Leavenworth Prison in Kansas. Invoking the Sun Dance, in which pain leads one to a transcendent reality, Peltier explores his suffering and the insights it has borne him. He also locates his experience within the history of the American Indian peoples and their struggles to overcome the federal government's injustices.
