William Apess, a Pequot man who came of age during the Jacksonian era, has been called the Native American Frederick Douglas. Drew Lopenzinas book "Through an Indian's Looking Glass" helps us understand this comparison. His book recounts Apesss history challenging the dominant power structure using the pen, the pulpit, and protest.
Another story of resilience comes to life through the visionary Black Elk, a medicine man and Catholic preacher. Joe Jackson shares with us a new kind of western epic of a man who had visions he dedicated his life to promote an understanding of Native American culture.
