Bread and Freedom

BREAD & FREEDOM, recalls almost ten years of dedicated lobbying on Indian issues with the Congress of the United States. Vital issues of treaty rights, land claims & water rights figure in the on-going struggles of Indians against the bureaucracy of American government. The Supreme Court figures in many of these articles, as the Indians, with native Indian lawyers, present their charges in the highest court in the land. The Indian culture & history figures in these essays, as well, as the author lists the Indians' claim for justice in their struggle for native rights. Their dual citizenship, both in the USA & in their tribes, distinctively marks them as a highly unique cultural group. They are the original inhabitants & the most victimized of all groups in this country. "A more ripe & rank case of dishonorable dealing will never, in all probability, be found in our history" is the phrase that the Supreme Court used in describing the theft of the Black Hills, then the richest land in the world, from the Sioux. Water & treaty rights are the subject of the many essays in this volume of Indians' unending search for justice.Zuern, Ted is the author of 'Bread and Freedom' with ISBN 9781877976018 and ISBN 1877976016.
