Full Circle, September 7, 2012By Matthew Black Eagle Man
This review is from: Full Circle (Paperback Edition)
"Full Circle is powerfully intriguing. A story from a perspective of a native growing up away from his people and the rejection he receives from his people because of that. This story says a lot in a real and true way about the concept of your family history being born in you and linked to your DNA. Not just in a good way, but in all ways. A topic that could be spoken about forever.
What really pulled at me was I was remembering a time when I went to a powwow and a white mother **** wanted to charge me money to sit and sing and dance with my relatives. My wife and I had to drive away and I was so burning with anger, tears running down my face, I told my wife I wanted to find a white guy and kill him. Any one would do, and when I got done with that, I wanted to find another white guy and kill him and if I wasn't satisfied, I wanted to do it again. Later, I felt bad for these emotions, but now I realize even tho I grew up away from the rez, of which I am very glad, the anger and hatred that's perpetuated on the reservation still burned in me. Your book helped me to be aware of that. I imagine all native people have prob had thoughts that go in the direction that this book went, and I am proud to say that with finding the roots of our spiritual lives and my spiritual self, I don't have to live with that anger and frustration anymore. You did an awesome job. Fantastic. Bringing to light so much that is real without tapping into what is truly real - the spirituality that was given to our people. I started the book not liking you. I finished the book saying I can't wait to meet this guy. Take care."

suggested by a reader, an excerpt from Full Circle, Chapter 24:"...Jackson is still Jackson. He still looks like himself and has his memories and thoughts. There are no bikini bottoms and go-go boots under his clothes. He hasn’t attained any magic powers with the ability to change into a super hero. He accepts and finds peace.
With no one to assist him Jackson begins to interpret all that has been revealed to him these last three arduous days..."
