Vizenor bares his fosterage as a tribal mixedblood, his ambitions, and his contentions with institutions and imposed histories in this remembrance past the barriers.

"The stories framed here show a man who's looked closely at his own heart and painted it with exquisite care." —Minnesota Monthly

"No tame genealogy, this is imaginative adventure, a free-floating composition that redefines the autobiography genre, and along the way, casts haunting shadows on the history of America's native people." —Utne Reader

"Vizenor's voice rings out like that of his crane ancestors. What is clear, after reading this remarkable autobiography, is that he is a survivor." —Bloomsbury Review

Gerald Vizenor is the author of Griever (1990), and Bearheart (1990), The People Named the Chippewa (1984), and Bear Island (2006).
