title: Through Indian Eyes: The Untold Story of Native American Peoples
author: Editors of Reader's Digest
description: Seldom have Native American culture and history been recreated with the immediacy and panoramic scope given by this breathtakingly illustrated volume. Beginning with the waves of Asian migrants to North America at the end of the last ice age, and extending to recent, hard-won victories in treaty enforcement and repatriation of sacred objects, it places special emphasis on Native Americans' daily experience and worldviews as expressed in customs, rituals, art, myths, religion, architecture. Events that resonate deep in the consciousness of Native Americans, such as General John Sullivan's scorched-earth campaign through Seneca country in 1779 on orders from George Washington, and the Pueblo Indians' successful revolt in 1680 against the Spanish, punctuate a crisply written narrative crammed with hundreds of dramatic color photographs, paintings, artifacts, maps, insets. The text is by the Reader's Digest staff and by noted authorities (Albert Hurtado, Peter Nabokov, Aldona Jonaitis, etc.) with the help of Alvin Josephy Jr., Robert Venables and other consultants. This is both a basic sourcebook and a magnificent visual repository. 750,000 first printing. <br />Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.

  land by a common heritage.”—Walter R. Echo-Hawk, author of In the 
  Courts of the Conqueror: The Ten Worst Indian Law Cases Ever Decided
  “A self-described wannabe, Roger Welsch has over many years ab-
  sorbed a deep knowledge and appreciation of the Indian tribes of the 
  Northern Plains. His writing, sincere and often humorous, reveals a 
  personality that many Indian people and even one tribal council have 
  come to trust, love, and adopt into their circles.”—Charles Trimble, 
  Oglala Lakota journalist and author
  “Once again my Heyoke friend, Roger Welsch, has captured the true 
  essence of being a ‘wannabe,’ not afraid to take risks, staying close to 
  the fire but not too close. Like our people, he understands what it 
  means to live in
