Description

 							
  
  Dennis Banks, an American Indian
of the Ojibwa Tribe and a founder of the American Indian Movement, is one of the most influential Indian leaders of our
time. In Ojibwa Warrior, written with acclaimed writer and photographer Richard Erdoes, Banks tells his own story for
the first time and also traces the rise of the American Indian Movement (AIM). The authors present an insider’s
understanding of AIM protest events—the Trail of Broken Treaties march to Washington, D.C.; the resulting
takeover of the BIA building; the riot at Custer, South Dakota; and the 1973 standoff at Wounded Knee. Enhancing the
narrative are dramatic photographs, most taken by Richard Erdoes, depicting key people and events.
  
  From
Publishers Weekly
  A compelling account of one of the most influential Indian leaders in the United States, this
autobiography describes how Banks was taken from his family as a young child and placed into a government boarding
school by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) in an attempt to "acculturate" him. Nine years later, he returned to the
Ojibwa "rez" only to find that he had forgotten his native Anishinabe language and many of his culture’s
traditions. "My teachers … had made me into an ‘apple’—red outside but white inside."
Nonetheless, Banks stayed for two years, reconnecting with family and relearning skills like rabbit trapping, before he
joined the Air Force in search of "three meals and warm place to sleep." When he returned from his tour in Japan in the
late 1950s, he re-experienced the prejudice, brutality and poverty that were preying upon his people in America. Angered
by what he saw, Banks founded the American Indian Movement (AIM) with the help of his friends. His retelling of these
events reads as seamlessly as a great campfire story (or a well-edited oral transcript). He takes readers deep inside
the traditional Sun Dances and Sweat Houses of his Ojibwa Tribe and deep into the action of the Trail of Broken
Treaties—a peaceful march on Washington that turned into a historic, six-day takeover of the BIA headquarters.
Bank’s 11-year run from the FBI, his many wives and children and the strategies of AIM all find their place in
his winding narrative, making this volume an important addition to this history of Native American and civil rights
movements in the United States. 73 b&w photos.

  From Booklist
  Banks opens his honest and moving autobiography with the 1973 standoff at Wounded Knee,
pondering how he got there, from his 1937 birth in Leech Lake, Minnesota, to a major confrontation with the U.S.
government. He recalls being separated from his family, language, and traditions while he lived "a life of innumerable
rules" at a Bureau of Indian Affairs boarding school. He escaped at 16, joined the air force, and was later imprisoned
for burglary. In prison, Banks studied the history of American Indian civil rights and became committed to the American
Indian Movement (AIM), overseen by the spiritual leaders Mary Crow Dog and Leonard Crow Dog, subjects of previous books
by coauthor Erdoes. The decision to make AIM confrontational but not violent led to the occupations of Alcatraz and Mt.
Rushmore, the 1972 march on Washington, and Wounded Knee, which Banks considers "the greatest event in the history of
Native America in the 20th century." For readers who can recall the spotty media coverage of these events, this powerful
litany of AIM's accomplishments is especially provocative. Deborah Donovan
