From the Author

Serle prefers to allow other people rather than himself to comment on his work. Here's what a few are saying:

"Serle Chapman is a great photographer . . . I was honored to be able to write the foreword remarks for We, The People." Former US President Bill Clinton "You are doing great work . . ." Nelson Mandela "Your (Serle’s) books are very well done – terrific!" Vine Deloria, Jr. "Separating the fact from the fiction in accounts of Indian–white relations is a trying experience. What makes matters more confusing are the exaggerations of these latter-day fiction writers who call themselves historians but who are actually just ‘rehashers’ of Western history. Serle Chapman is not one of those." Dr. Joseph Medicine Crow – Crow Tribal Historian, Scholar & Author "Chapman does another wonderful job in making our history a living, breathing event. I have stood at a historic place and gazed over what might have happened there generations ago. Sometimes you feel the spirits and events of the past – that’s how I felt when I picked up Promise. Not only are the illustrations and artwork a clear and beautiful presentation, but the narratives bring you into the story in a way that makes you feel like you are there." News From Indian Country
