The heartbeat of Wounded Knee : life in Native America Cover Image Book Book

The heartbeat of Wounded Knee : life in Native America / David Treuer ; adapted by Sheila Keenan.

Treuer, David, (author.). Keenan, Sheila, (adapter.).

Summary:

"Since the late 1800s, it has been believed that Native American civilization has been wiped from the United States. The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee argues that Native American culture is far from defeated--if anything, it is thriving as much today as it was one hundred years ago. The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee looks at Native American culture as it exists today--and the fight to preserve language and traditions"-- Provided by publisher.
