WHEN THE WHITEMAN SMILES - An Indian Journey
This is a contemporary fictional account of how three Indian men must survive in a hostile environment. It's a story of how some Indian people were raised among two societies, their own and the non-Indian world that didn't want them. This is an Indian view of police brutality and the looking away they do that's never heard about in the private sector. It isn't read about too much either because Indians don't write books or put out original newsletters and magazines, or are prevented from doing so on government land and on reservations. Brutality against Indians always turns out to be their fault, never the other way.
This story tells about spirituality, but when it's found, doesn't often offer peace on earth. Spirituality also offers a way to die when there's nothing else to live for. Death is what Indians know best, but before it comes it must send a message. The harbinger chosen to deliver that message is a woman. She comes on silent wings and brings with her a dog, a black hound. Together they haunt the dreams of three Indian men, who want to die on their own terms and there has to be gunfire, screaming horses and swirling dust. |

| About
the Author: |
I am currently the President of Tribal Enterprises Foundation, a private Indian non-profit corporation located in Newcastle, California. I am a Substance Abuse Counselor. I am a graduate of Breining Institute, in Sacramento, California. I am internationally known in three different disciplines, Artist (pencil-acrylics) Sculptor (alabaster-soapstone) and Silversmith.
In the Indian way I am from out of the Ponca Tribe of Oklahoma. I am a Pipe-Carrier. I became a writer out of necessity because of the fact that non-Indians have long been telling our stories, copying our crafts and doing our most sacred ceremonies without opposition of any kind. This has been going on far too long without someone from out of our culture doing something about it besides giving lip service. The wannabes have taken too much from our culture for too long without having to give anything back. It's time for Indian people to begin to write their own histories, their own books and our foundation is trying to find a way for it to happen. So far the public hoity-toity foundations that supposedly fund new programs have turned Tribal Enterprises Foundation down.
I don't think they or the general public or even some Indians know the difference between traditional Indians, regular assimilated ones (Urban Indians), or those non-Indians who claim to be Indian. But, we got here without their help or anybody else's help and we'll make it without them. We have too many talented people here who work for us to not fail to grow. I donated this book to our foundation as a source of revenue so that we can keep our programs going.
