3.0 out of 5 stars
informative, enlighting, educational!!,
By Connie B. Porter (Chester, Virginia USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: We're Still Here : Contemporary Virginia Indians Tell Their Stories (Paperback)
This book did much to enrich my very limited knowlege of the contemporary Virginia Indian . It provides a great wealth of knowlege for any reader interested in Indians living throughout Virginia today, as well as for the reader who may be introduced to the subject for the first time. It also does much to eliminate the sterotype thinking of those whose only introduction to the Virginia Indian community may be through a childhood visit to the Jamestown Settlement or the story of Pocahontas. By focusing on telling their story through personal interviews, you get to know some of these vibrant people and, the difficulties they faced growing up Indian.. As one of the women said, it was diffucult to be Indian and live in two different worlds. For anyone who wants to learn more about the subject, this is a must read! It is a great research tool for anyone who wants true insite into the history of the eight state recognized tribes in Virginia, as well as providing a fascinating account of the many compexities of Virginia Indians today It is informative, educational, well-documented and well-written!.

This review is from: We're Still Here : Contemporary Virginia Indians Tell Their Stories (Paperback)
Very interesting book. I learned a lot and was entertained as well. I'd recommend this book to anyone who's interested in the struggles of Native Americans and how they live today. Also a handy tribe map and recipes!

A must have for anyone interested in Virginia Indians,
This review is from: We're Still Here : Contemporary Virginia Indians Tell Their Stories (Paperback)
This is not only a great and easy read, but a very interesting and informative book as well. It is an excellent book for anyone who is interested in the Virginia Indians. I cannot recommend this book enough!
It is not a long book, but it makes up for that in the wonderfully well researched information about the present day Virginia Indian tribes. They have been through a lot over the past 400+ years since the English settled Jamestown, but they still thrive. There are many wonderful stories throughout the book that really illustrate the struggles and triumphs these people have had over the years. These struggles continue even today as they fight to be recognized by the federal government - something that needs to happen. As someone who has been interested in the Virginia Indian's story for many years this book is a treasure and I can only hope a third edition with more information will be released at some point.
