The Everlasting Sky - (Native Voices) by Gerald Vizenor (Paperback)

The "About this item" section of the book provides a unique glimpse into reservation life in the late 1960s and early 1970s, as well as the early days of the American Indian Movement.

Vizenor's classic first book offers memorable portraits of real people who defied yet were ultimately overcome by the dominant society.

Through juxtaposition of contemporary life against images and dream sequences from Anishinabe folktales and ceremonies, Vizenor puts a human face on those desperate and politically charged times.

In an introduction composed especially for this edition, Vizenor reflects on changes that occurred on the reservations in previous decades and updates the lives of this fascinating and various cast of characters.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Native American literature and criticism, as well as those seeking to understand the experiences of reservation life during a time of significant social and political change.
