Neither Wolf nor Dog: On Forgotten Roads with an Indian Elder

Description

1996 Minnesota Book Award winner ― A Native American bookThe heart of the
Native American experience: In this 1996 Minnesota Book Award winner, Kent
Nerburn draws the reader deep into the world of an Indian elder known only as
Dan. It’s a world of Indian towns, white roadside cafes, and abandoned roads
that swirl with the memories of the Ghost Dance and Sitting Bull. Readers meet
vivid characters like Jumbo, a 400-pound mechanic, and Annie, an 80-year-old
Lakota woman living in a log cabin. Threading through the book is the story of
two men struggling to find a common voice. Neither Wolf nor Dog takes readers
to the heart of the Native American experience. As the story unfolds, Dan
speaks eloquently on the difference between land and property, the power of
silence, and the selling of sacred ceremonies. This edition features a new
introduction by the author, Kent Nerburn.“This is a sobering, humbling,
cleansing, loving book, one that every American should read.” ― Yoga JournalIf
