Reviews
Google Preview: A narrative map of the Indian Ecumenical Conference.''In unfolding the account of the Indian Ecumenical Conference, Treat forces the reader to abandon the long-held notion of the Red Power movement as a radical, confrontational, protest movement. . . . Treat does a marvelous job in bringing out the issues involved in this period of Native American religious history.''--American Studies International ''A hugely detailed historical, sociological, theological, and personal account of the Indian Ecumenical Conference. . . . Highly recommended.''--Choice ''A magnificent job of excavating the history of the ecumenical conference and illuminating key personalities involved.''--Journal of American History''Treat has rescued an important area of Indian activism that has gone virtually unnoticed--the Indian Ecumenical Conference. Gathering scattered documents and conducting personal interviews, he presents an exciting history of efforts by traditional people to offer their own solution to modern social problems.''--Vine Deloria Jr., author of God Is Red: A Native View of Religion and Custer Died for Your Sins ''The best book on American Indian religion published in the new millennium.''--Christopher Vecsey, author of American Indian Catholics (three volumes); ''This important book details the continent-wide, including Great Plains, efforts of Native Americans in the 1970s and 1980s to revive and unify Native spirituality and bring it to terms with Christianity.''--Great Plains Quarterly. ''Treat tells the story of this conference in a way that is authentic to both the events of this cultural reawakening and the narrative tradition of Native Americans. . . . This is a unique and powerful book.''--Human Ecology Review.; Google Preview content
