Praise for the first edition: "An important addition to the library of Native American autobiography and a valuable contribution to literary scholarship."--World Literature Today "I do not know of any book quite like this one. Not only does it gather eighteen eloquent autobiographical essays in one place--a rarity in itself--but they are the life stories of some very significant Native American writers. The combination is unique... On many levels, then, this is a book both enlightening and necessary."--Washington Post Book World "Rings with an urgency and honesty that promises to go far in setting the record straight about Native American experience in non-Indian dominated America."--Bloomsbury Review "Like the cultures from which its many contributors come, this is a protean book--diverse, rich, and revealing at every turn... For those who have yet to come into the literature of contemporary Native American writers, these inclusions offer a taste of what greater richness lies beyond."--Western Historical Quarterly
