Why read it?
1 author picked Thinking in Indian as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book of essays by the Seneca scholar and activist, John Mohawk, is vital because its title pinpoints what the center of my life and work is: focusing on Indigenous ways of thinking about the world as a vital and necessary alternative way of understanding the world to Western thought, which has brought us to the brink of climate collapse and has failed to solve, indeed has only increased, social and economic inequality.
I value the book, then, because it reminds me of the way to achieve real democracy.
From Eric's list on Native American resistance to U.S colonialism.
