The Shoshone elder Darren Parry asked in an interview recently about how much you know about Native American history. Then he asked who framed that history. Almost everything most people know has been shaped by movies and stories written by a white person's perspective. As these stories are told by Native American people themselves, it is the most reliable and important perspective. I Have Spoken is a must read for anyone who has an interest in history.

A most rare book and account. The closest accounts and compilations of this can only be found in the National Archives in Washington, D.C. Few know that the varied red nations of the then United States featured men who were outrageously great orators and men of dialectic, rivaling that of the ancient Greek and Persian accounts and story-form, only that the modern world at the time was simply not centered on Native Americans and rather more concerned with extractions, not inclusion.
