The Good Red Road : Passages into Native America

By Kenneth Lincoln

Book Overview

In 1975 Kenneth Lincoln went on the road with his small daughter and four students, traveling from Los Angeles through the Southwest to the Dakotas, searching for the core of the Indian experience in modern America. His gritty but poetic account of this trip explores the challenges facing native peoples. The Good Red Road captures the tension between Indians and whites, reveals the continuing importance of religion among the Lakotas, and depicts the differences among Indians. Finally, the narrative is a journey of self-discovery by Lincoln and his students, one of them Cherokee coauthor Al Logan Slagle, now a legal advocate for Indian rights.

The Good Red Road

I found this book to be a moving experience. It graphically illustrates the current condition of our Reservations, and how the People persevere in spite of living in absolute poverty. It is a story of hope and inspiration. I recommend it highly.
