Neither Wolf Nor Dog: On Forgotten Roads with an Indian Elder - Kent Nerburn
Non-Indian theologian and editor Nerburn attempts to bridge the gap between the world into which I had been born and the world of a people I had grown to know and love by narrating the fascinating toils and truths of Dan, a 78-year-old Lakota man.
Against an unflinching backdrop of 1990s reservation life and the majestic spaces of the western Dakotas,Ā Neither Wolf nor DogĀ tells the story of two men, one white and one Indian, locked in their own understandings yet struggling to find a common voice. In this award-winning book, acclaimed author Kent Nerburn draws us deep into the world of a Native American elder named Dan, who leads Kent through Indian towns and down forgotten roads that swirl with the memories of the Ghost Dance and Sitting Bull. Along the way we meet a vivid cast of characters -- ranging from Jumbo, a 400-pound mechanic, to Annie, an eighty-year-old Lakota woman living in a log cabin with no running water. An unlikely cross betweenĀ On the RoadĀ andĀ Black Elk Speaks,Ā Neither Wolf nor DogĀ takes us past the myths and stereotypes of the Native American experience, revealing an America few ever see.
