David Treuer is a 50 year-old writer, critic and academic who is one of the most prolific writers (and critics) of the contemporary American Indian experience. A response to the classic Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown, a well-known eulogy of American Indian culture. A strong counterpoint to the idea that everything of their original culture was destroyed, corrupted and stolen with modern American Indians as degenerate walking-dead dependent on drugs, alcohol and government handouts. 445 pages published in 2019. Finalist for 2019 National Book Award and longlisted for Andrew Carnegie Medal.
