Publisher's summary

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.

The book is published by University of Oklahoma Press.

Critic reviews

"A compelling account of one of the most influential Indian leaders in the United States... this volume (is) an important addition to this history of Native American and civil rights movements in the United States. ( Publishers Weekly)
"For readers who can recall the spotty media coverage of these events, this powerful litany of AIM's accomplishments is especially provocative." ( Booklist)

Amazing book!

An interesting book. Dennis Banks lived to fight for American Indian justice his entire life. He served in the military. Non-natives helped him; Marlo Brando, Jim Jones, and other celebrities. Pilots air dropped food and supplies during their stand off. A farmer helped him get away after the police and FBI destroyed his RV. He was a fugitive on the run. Donations flowed in to help fund bail money, movement of members and support AIM headquarters. An FBI informant worked within AIM. It’s unbelievable how the FBI created cases against these activists. Cases dismissed when FBI lies were exposed. I honestly believe Leonard Peltier is innocent. Hope he’s free soon. One comment Dennis made is true, “Creator loves AIM.” Things fell into place for these activists. I always wondered about this movement. Exposed mistreatment, unpunished killings, and the fight for justice.

Amazing

Loved it all, including the narration. Required information for Anglo people deciding to embark on the Red Road. Much respect to Dennis, Leonard, Russel, and all those who risked their lives to make their voices heard. Free Peltier.

A friend

It was a good book. As I knew Dennis, I had heard him talk of some of these stories before. a warrior he was !! we need to honor his memory by protecting our mother, and stop polluting her. The truth may be shocking,... to fix what is wrong we need to know how it happened in the past.

A compelling and relevant read

The Narrator is perfect for this book. A story from old times that is still relevant in 2020.

so significant at this time.

I held back tears as I learned so much. Sad that the same struggle is being fought as I write this decades later in 2016.
