Description
How a Mvskoke traditionalist leader forged a movement to resist the division of tribal lands and keep his people on the everlasting Medicine Way Chitto Harjo ("Crazy Snake") had several names--Wilson Jones, Bill Jones, Bill Harjo, Bill Snake--and people called him many things: troublemaker, rebellion leader, uncivilized Indian, martyr, murderer. Many called him crazy for fighting against progress and for his commitment to traditions that they believed were outdated and dying out. Yet in the eyes of many Mvskokes and traditionalists of other nations, he was a hero, a defender of the old ways, a Native patriot, and a leader of the Medicine Way. These traditionalists believed in the Mvskoke worldview, which has inspired the Mvskokes and other Southeastern peoples to carry on their traditions as they have done for hundreds of years. In this book, historian Donald L. Fixico, of the Mvskoke nation, tells the story of the Mvskoke people and their fight for survival and unity amid enduring tensions between white "civilization" and traditional culture. A personal story that begins with recounting Fixico's attendance at a Green Corn Ceremony together with his father and young son, this engrossing narrative integrates traditional knowledge with historical method to present a different perspective on Mvskoke and Native American history.EXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
