There is no death. Only a change of worlds."
--Chief Seattle [Seatlh], Suquamish Chief
What do people do when their civilization is invaded? Indigenous people
have been faced with disease, war, broken promises, and forced
assimilation. Despite crushing losses and insurmountable challenges,
they formed new nations from the remnants of old ones, they adopted new
ideas and built on them, they fought back, and they kept their cultures
alive.
When the only possible "victory" was survival, they survived.
In this brilliant follow up to Turtle Island, esteemed academic Eldon
Yellowhorn and award-winning author Kathy Lowinger team up again, this
time to tell the stories of what Indigenous people did when invaders
arrived on their homelands. What the Eagle Sees shares accounts of the
people, places, and events that have mattered in Indigenous history from
a vastly under-represented perspective--an Indigenous viewpoint.
