In this 1996 Minnesota Book Award winner, Kent Nerburn draws the reader deep into the world of an Indian elder known only as Dan. It's a world of Indian towns, white roadside cafes, and abandoned roads that swirl with the memories of the Ghost Dance and Sitting Bull. Readers meet vivid characters like Jumbo, a 400-pound mechanic, and Annie, an 80-year-old Lakota woman living in a log cabin. Threading through the book is the story of two men struggling to find a common voice. Neither Wolf nor Dog takes readers to the heart of the Native American experience. As the story unfolds, Dan speaks eloquently on the difference between land and property, the power of silence, and the selling of sacred ceremonies. This edition features a new introduction by the author. "This is a sobering, humbling, cleansing, loving book, one that every American should read." — Yoga Journal
Customer Review: Loved it!
Its just a story about a guy and his life. How he sees the world and what the world has done to him. A wonderful book for walking in someone elses shoes, learning tolerance. Even if your not into American Indian history, its worth the read.
Customer Review: A "desert island" book
I have four books about Native Americans that I would not give up. Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, God is Red, Black Elk Speaks, and Neither Wolf nor Dog. Neither Wolf nor Dog goes into my carry on bag for when I am marooned on a desert island.
