Originally released in 1986 as Renegade Tribe, this award-winning title sensitively retells the compelling saga of western expansion and Indian-white conflict from a Native American perspective and offers a new foreword by Chief Tilcoax's descendent Wilson Wewah.
Denied a place on their ancestral lands, the original Snake River-Palouse people were forced to scatter, and maintaining their cultural identity became increasingly difficult. Still, elders passed down oral histories to their descendants, insisting youngsters listen with rapt attention. Beginning in the 1970s and continuing over three decades, Naxiyamtáma elders¿in particular Mary Jim, Andrew George, Gordon Fisher, and Emily Peone¿chose to share their stories with a research team. The four had ties to the Plateau people¿s leadership families and had lived in the traditional way¿gathering, hunting, and fishing. They hoped to teach American Indian history in a traditional manner and refute inaccuracies. Multiple themes emerged¿a pervasive spirituality tied to the Creator and environment; a covenant relationship and sacred trust to protect and preserve their traditional lands; storytelling as a revered art form that reveals life lessons, and finally, belief in cyclical time and blood memory.
This story of western expansion and Indian-white conflict is sensitively retold from the perspective of Native Americans. Renegade Tribe examines written and oral sources left by both cultures.
"The Snake River drains many of the most famous steelhead fly-fishing streams in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, such as the main stem Snake, Clearwater, Salmon, Imnaha, and Grande Ronde. This book includes many of the best anglers (and legends such as Jim and Carol Green, Bill Nelson, Ted Trueblood, Tom Morgan, and Keith Stonebraker, and others) from the beginnings of steelhead fly-fishing in the last century to the present time. Many of the people interviewed for this book speak in their own words in endearing colloquial English! This book is the equivalent of the Sacrament of Confirmation for steelhead fly anglers. Each year, 150,000 to 250,000 summer steelhead return to the holy waters of these river systems. Dan Landeen has created a wonderful STEELHEADER'S book!" - Frank Amato
