Description

The listing, Great Speeches by Native Americans has ended.

Some reviews listed on other websites include,

"I can't recommend this book highly enough. Aside from being full of speeches and insights that belong in the Classics section of any decent library, the strong and concise way in which these speakers convey the greatness of Native American thought and culture is unlike anything you will ever get from your favorite writer of history books, or contemporary decendant of these great people.

I will even go so far as to say that if you are moved by the great words of Winston Churchill and Martin Luther King Jr. it would be a horrible oversight not to have read this volume.

Additionally, the book includes several short bits of historical background which are remarkable in themselves.

Great words, great thought, unlike Western or Eastern thought or any philosophy you have ever read. You can only wish these cultures had survived the holocost that was inflicted on them better so that we could have benefited to a greater degree than was done by taking their gold, land, and lives.

Credit must be also given to the Dover Thrift Edition series for not only making well known classics affordable and accessible to the average reader, but publishing such books as this which are lesser known yet of great importance to the reading and thinking public.

BOTTOM LINE: Please read this book. It's that important."

This book is used but in good shape.

What century was she from and what tribe? The book quotes from years 1540-1991. It covers many different Native americans, including Sitting Bull and many different tribes.

I found a section on the cherokee. It quotes Chief Speckled Snake and tells about Andrew Jackson, The Trail of Tears and from what i gather by skimming the pages, it's talking about the era when Our ancestors forced the Native americans off their land. The page i'm reading mostly is dated in and around 1830. Like I said, I am skimming. There could be more that i'm not finding.
