At Long Last: TRUTH,
By
This review is from: Lines from a Mined Mind: The Words of John Trudell (Paperback)
This collection from John Trudell is soul stirring and gut wrenching at the same time. If you let the words carry your heart you will know dignity, integrity, and honor all from a man your government says has none. Ever a hero to the People; his pain is real and so is his wit. I am lucky enough to have been a witness to his truths, and unlucky enough, also. You make the Ancestors proud, John. Thank you.

Nice collection,
This review is from: Lines from a Mined Mind: The Words of John Trudell (Paperback)
This is a nice collection of John's poetry that has been set to music. A true Native American hero, his words and music display an amazing insight, intense in his vision. This written word collection is a great introduction for the uninitiated to the power of John's words but for full effect listen to his music and you will see why he is admired and revered by so many.

You will love this book. It is more like a book of poems, it's not so much a story or memoir or anything. But it is definitely JOHN TRUDELL!
