Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the identity of American Indians from an Indigenous perspective and how outside influences throughout history, from the arrival of Columbus in 1492 to the twenty-first century, have affected Native people. Non-Native writers, boarding school teachers, movie directors, bureaucrats, churches, and television have all heavily impacted how Indians are viewed in the United States. Drawing on the life experiences of many American Indian men and women, this volume reveals how American Indian identity comprises multiple identities, including the noble savage, wild savage, Hollywood Indian, church-going Indian, rez Indian, urban Indian, Native woman, Indian activist, casino Indian, and tribal leader. Indigenous people, in their own voices, share their experiences of discrimination, being treated as outsiders in their own country, and the intersections of gender, culture, and politics in Indian-white relations. Yet the book also highlights the resilience of being Indian and the pride felt from being a member of a tribe(s), knowing your relatives, and feeling connected to the earth. Being Indian and Walking Proud is a compelling resource for any reader interested in Indigenous history, including students and scholars in Native American and Indigenous studies, anthropology, and American history.

Book excerpt: This book began a long time ago, it began with the feelings I had for children through the years; first from watching children playing in the playground and later from spending time with my nephews. Filled with an abundant wealth of emotions the poetry came out naturally, effortlessly as an expression of my love and joy from being around them. My favorite sounds are the stormy sounds of children playing in the playground; I always thirst for those exhilarating sounds and I always enjoy watching children at play. I am always happy been around them, they excite me and in return I like to excite them, they exalt me and I very much like to exalt them. I hope I can give back a little, I wish I can do that with my poems.
