The National Geographic Society has issued a revised version of its 1974 publication, The World of the American Indian. The first chapter, written by Pulitzer prize winner N. Scott Momaday, is a superb essay on the author's understanding of an Indian heritage. "I remember, as it were, in the way that we human beings seem at times to remember Genesis--across evolutional distances. It is a memory that persists in the book, and there only." Chapters were also written by Vine Deloria Jr. and D'Arcy McNickle. The 400-page themselves are worth the $9.95 cost of the book. The book can be ordered from the National Geographic Society, Washington, D.C. 20036. | |
