Why read it?
1 author picked Where White Men Fear to Tread as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This may be the most honest autobiography I’ve ever read. Means spares no one, especially not himself.

Means traveled a painful and tortuous road to finally become a significant leader of the late twentieth-century Indian movement for recognition, reparation, and self-determination.
From S.L.'s list on the beauty and challenges of being Native American.
