Book Of The Month -- February 17, 2019

For those of us/you who thought the history of the American Indian / Native American ended with Wounded Knee (ignoring the current fascination with Pocahontas of Oklahoma City) there is a very, very interesting book, c. 2019: The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee: Native America From 1890 to the Present, David Treuer.

Despite its subtitle, its first chapter cover the period 10,000 BCE to 1890.

The author: an Ojibwe from the Leech Lake Reservation in northern Minnesota. The author, based on the photo on the jacket, is unrecognizable as a Native American except for his high cheek bones. He has written for all the major newspapers and is the author of four novels. He has a PhD in anthropology and teaches literature and creative writing at my alma mater: the University of Southern California. Whoo-hoo!

Part I, 10,000 BCE to 1890, has a large segment on the midwest, the Lakota.

Part 2 begins with his conversation(s) with Kevin Washburn, a Chickasaw who served as the assistant secretary fo the interior for Indian affairs. He is currently (or when the book was written) a professor of law at the University of New Mexico.

Part 3, covering the period from 1914 to 1945 might be one of the more interesting "chapters" in the book.

Part 4 begins with the author's desire to learn about the postwar years for the Plains Indians. It begins with his cross-country drive from Rapid City, South Dakota, to Browning, Montana. Wow, my backyard.

The author returns to his home, northern Minnesota, when he begins part 5, becoming Indian, 1970 - 1990. It will be interesting to see if he mentions how Elizabeth Warren "became Indian." My hunch: he avoids the subject. We'll see.

Two more chapters and an epilogue.

Elizabeth Warren? Wow, wow, wow. That name does not appear in the index. How does one write a 455-page history of the American Indian with an emphasis on the last three decades and not eve mention Ms Herring aka Pocahontas.

Spring Has Sprung

The availability of tulips in America lasts only a few months in the spring. But they are now here!

Sophia and I put out bird seed every morning for the birds and these are our regular visitors:

• three dark-eyed Juncos
• three cardinals (adult male, adult female, juvenile)
• two mourning doves
• two blue-jays (both adult males)
• two or three big black birds -- either crows or ravens
• overhead, we often see a red-tailed hawk (usually in the evening)
• in the distance, we often hear an owl or two (also, usually in the evening)

I tell her every day that we should soon see the first robin. We don't see many robins in north Texas during the summer, but we see a fair number every spring.
