Title: So authentic it hurts
Review: Lame Deer is an authentic look at traditional Sioux tribal beliefs. The author pulls no punches and western audiences may be disturbed by some parts - eating of dog, hanging by flesh to have a vision of the creator. However, as Lame Deer points out, many things about American culture are deeply disturbing to Native Americans too - from Mt. Rushmore to convenient religion practiced only on a Sunday. This was written a few years ago, before the casinos started seriously plowing money back into the tribes,but I doubt Lame Deer would be very pleased at the social costs of that either. All in all, a profound, deeply moving, provocative, funny and disturbing look at Native American culture subsumed by American white culture, but never defeated. I found it a good source for my own novel as well: Neitherworld, a sci-fi epic that takes place among the Ojibwe.Neitherworld Book One Akiiwan (CreateSpace Version)
