I found your insights very helpful in understanding how NANAI has evolved into the organization it is today. Its interesting to me to see how other ‘native’ advocate groups in places such as New Zealand and Australia ( maori and aboriginal respectively ) have evolved similarly and so have much in common with NANIA.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts

I thank you with all my spirit for writing the single greatest healing experience in print my eyes have ever seen, “Neither Wolf Nor Dog.”

The title of your book alone describes my childhood: born to an American soldier father with maternal roots to the Pine Ridge rez, and a mother who was the only daughter of a German vineyard family.

Thank you for telling Dan’s story with such bravery of conscience and respect for truth as is so rare to see. Your book truly filled in so many blanks in my own impressions of the world, impressions that my regimented German heritage (and my mother and her grandparents, Wakan Tanka grant them peace) was not equipped to fill.

Thank you again, sir!

I was delighted when my husband was posted to Fort Sill, Oklahoma. The post museum and library provided better information about Native Americans than Karl May’s yarns. My inspiration came from the “Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge.” Out there, under the great Oklahoma sky, amongst grazing buffalos, under eagles wings in total solitute, I experienced a connectedness to the earth I can’t explain with words. I felt earth talking to me… I remembered how Germans sing odes to their forests, ancient linden or oak trees…

I don’t know if I read the “right” books about Native Americans, but I understand Dutch and Belgians (I lived in Belgium twice) desire wanting to understand Native American culture,
I feel the same way.
