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.

AWESOME READ!!!

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING! I don't think you would even have to be into the subject matter to enjoy reading this book. It reads that well. That said; anybody looking at this book probably is "into it". Fills in all the gaps and does so on a personal level. You'll feel as if you were there standing with them . One of the best books I have ever read.

This is one of...if not THE most fascinating books I've ever read. Banks was definitely a controversial figure. I saw him speak once many many years ago. He tells it like it is. Ojibwe Warrior is one hell of an awesome book!!!!

For Germany it was the Jews, to America it is Native tribes.

Loved seeing the world through the eyes of Native Americans. How frustrating it is to be prisoners of war for so many years and to have watched so many families wiped out. Reminds me of the holocaust in Germany.

AMERICAN INDIAN MOVEMENT

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I was very aware of AIM In the 70s.This book was so detailed with the events leading up to Wounded Knee.It was well written.I could not stop reading chapter after chapter.The relentless pressure put on the AIM members NON STOP. This was not the Feds that are portrayed on Criminal Minds.The Feds the Bureau of INDIAN Affairs the prosecuting attorneys did everything they could to set up discredit all progress & freedom for Native Americans.Highly RECOMMENDED

The Real Truth

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2009

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

'Ojibwa Warrior' by Dennis J. Banks (aka Nowa Cumig in the Ojibwa language)is a long overdue record of the cruelty the U.S. Government and this society has inflicted on the American Indians right up to this day.

I was in Minneapolis at the time of the uprising of AIM. I was sympathetic to this cause. As an anglo I was not fully aware of the details until I read this book. The media did not broadcast the events being played out accurately. They just presented the American government side and made the Indians appear as troublemakers. All the Indians did was run out of patience of centuries of mistreatment; and throw it all back on the invaders. They are the original and true residents of this continent. Invaders took over and murdered Indian nations and tribes after arriving from the Eastern Hemisphere and it continued as a routine way of life with the successive generations of anglos.

This autobiography is a true account of the history of this society and what has been happening to the American Indians right up to now - the twenty-first century of this civilization we live in!

THIS BOOK IS A MUST for educational insitutions and their history and cultural courses in addition to A MUST FOR PRIVATE READING. Only by reading this book and "Where White Men Fear To Trend" by Russell Means will the American people really know the true record of events of the American Indians' circumstances in their own homeland, especially during our recent and current times.

Still Strong

Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

As a university graduate in 1973, I was greatly moved by the struggle for human rights and fight for self-dignity by the original inhabitants of what became known as North America. Wounded Knee was the catalyst for what has become a greater love and respect for Indian people. From that moment forward, I was a "spiritual" member of the American Indian Movement. During the last forty years, I have had the privilege of meeting most of the original leaders of AIM and was always welcomed at Native gatherings in New York, St. Paul, Pine Ridge, Wounded Knee, San Francisco and too many other locales to mention, even as a white man. My wife and I remember taking Dennis to the Newark Airport after one such gathering and I will never forget looking in the rear-view mirror as Dennis was standing on the sidewalk waving goodbye. No matter the negative things that have been written about AIM, including some that I witnessed with my own eyes, I continue to focus on the positive contribution made by so many Indian people who died and risked their lives, simply to be treated as human beings. The struggle continues at a very high price. For the last eight years, I have been working in China. Four years ago I began teaching English to some of the finest and smartest high school seniors on the planet. As I write this review, I am finishing my current semester in China teaching the kids about AIM and screening "A GOOD DAY TO DIE". They of course know nothing about Native Americans other than the criminal Columbus. I am doing my best to change their thinking. Dennis' song, "Still Strong" resonates in my head on almost a daily basis. I read Dennis' book upon original publication and have revisited it several times. I hope to see you again one day my friend.

I worked and lived with Ojibway back in the late 60's and have been hungry stories told by Native Americans ever since. This man's story needs to be read and appreciated by us all.

A gift - well received

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 5, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I bought this as a gift for a friend who had heard about Dennis Banks on a radio programme. Some of the reviews I read found the book rather difficult to follow but my friend said he would love a copy - so I bought it for him. He thoroughly enjoyed it and said it was moving and thought provoking - so hence, I have given it five stars because my friend said that is what he would give it.

This is an excellently written view from the other side of history. It reads like sitting there over a cup of coffee and chatting rather than the watered down $100 word version we are so used to seeing from academic writers

A great autobiography of a valiant native American Indian

Reviewed in Germany on February 25, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is an impressive record of experiences made by one of the founders of the American Indian Movement, Dennis Banks. He recounts his experiences at a boarding school where he was taken forcibly as a child. Also, his experiences later on with the racially biased US Justice system, and as a soldier within the US Army. Lastly, also his experiences made with the corrupt elected Indian officials, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. I found this book to be an inspiration for all those fighting for a more just and better world.
