A hero for all time. This is a beautiful writing. I appreciate it at a time when it seems indigenous leaders have lost focus and their ambivalent towards the needs of their own people as it is obscured by political distractions of all types. Canada is still at war with indigenous nations as undrip is another landgrab with some neo-colonial intentions to usurp traditional governance and indigenous human rights. We need to stand together, repeal the doctrine of discovery and declare indigenous sovereignty. #youareonindianland
One genre you might want to look into is biography / autobiography; Bruce Johansen's Encyclopedia of Native American Biography may be helpful; David Brumble's American Indian Autobiography has a lot of references (not a collection like Johansen) [Brumble is in the Archive: https://archive.org/details/americanindianau0000brum ]; James Willard Schultz recounts his experiences among the Blackfoot [also in the Archive: https://archive.org/search?query=creator%3A%28willard%20schultz%29 ]; there's more, but this will get you started....

You are spot on
Thank you for sharing
Hadn't heard of Manuel, so i appreciate your bringing awareness of his good works.
What a great man!
Sounds like a good leader.
we’ll need it longer than that! :-)
have you seen my book? Federal Anti-Indian Law: The Legal Entrapment of Indigenous Peoples -- https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/federal-antiindian-law-9781440879210/ -- it's mostly law-related, but there's culture in it too...
