From the River's Edge
Elizabeth Cook-Lynn
“Seeing the Missouri River country of the Sioux is like seeing where the earth first recognized humanity….” Yet the white man’s humanity is forcing wrenching change upon the land: the time is the late sixties, and the Missouri River Power Project, just completed, is unleashing water on the lands that have nourished the Dakota, physically and spiritually, for countless generations.
It is a new world, and this is called progress. Like the dead trees [that] protrude from the white people’s reservoir covering tribal land, John Tatekeya and other Dakota …discover that, in 1967, their Indian roots are dying from modern society’s encroachment. John wins a court case against a white man who rustled his cattle but is left uncompensated by the court and betrayed by Indians corrupted by the white world. Basing her story on an actual trial, [Elizabeth] Cook-Lynn has written an introspective appeal for Indians to retain their culture.
