Editorial Review:

Product Description:
How do Native Americans maintain their identity and culture in a hostile society, and to what end? Tontos Revenge is a passionate attempt by a leading Native American scholar to reassess the Indian world view and its importance to all Americans. His deeply felt essays project a vision of how Native Americans can recapture the power of their cultural legacies. 'What we have witnessed over the last five hundred years,' states Rennard Strickland, 'is the domination of an ideologically superior world view (that of the Native Americans) by a technologically advanced but spiritually bankrupt civilization (that of the discoverers).' He proposes a reversal of this pattern, arguing that 'values must prevail over technology,' especially if people are to attain balance and peace with themselves and their surroundings. He delineates the enduring cultural heritage of Indians in essays on law, literature, history, art, film, and culture.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Insightful, humorous overview of Native America today
Rennard Strickland (Cherokee/Osage) is an expert in Native American law and heavily involved in the Native community. His lucid view from the inside is refreshingly funny and optimistic: demonstrating how Native Americans are not assimilating or weakening, but gaining new tools in cultural preservation, legal protection, and economical development for the upcoming millenium. Although filled with historical references and facts, these essays were taken from Strickland's speeches. They're easily read, not stuffy or overly-academic.
