Charles Wilkinson captures the Siletz people's long journey of betrayal and rejuvenation with such warmth, insight, and engagement that a reader feels privileged to share in it.
Ned Blackhawk (Western Shoshone)
The People Are Dancing Again is simultaneously one of the best tribal histories as well as a testament to the resilient spirit of the Siletz Nation. A wonderful contribution.
Rennard Strickland (Osage/Cherokee)
This book is well researched and beautifully documented, and is most accessible to the general reading public. It is, in many respects, a picture of the entire history of Native American policy.
Donald L. Fixico
In this beautifully written masterpiece, Charles Wilkinson breathes life into these pages, re—creating the inner experience of being Siletz. Absolutely brilliant!
