Description
"When Faustin, the old Acoma, is given his first television set, he considers it a technical wonder, a box full of mystery. What he sees on its screen that first day, however, is even more startling than the television itself: men have landed on the moon. Can this be real?"--BOOK JACKET. "True to Native American tradition, these tales possess the immediacy - and intimacy - of stories conveyed orally. They are drawn from Ortiz's Acoma Pueblo experience but focus on situations common in Native people, whether living on the land or in cities, and on the issues that affect their lives. We meet Jimmo, a young boy learning that his father is being hunted for murder, and Kaiser, the draft refuser who always wears the suit he was given when he left prison. We also meet some curious Anglos: radicals supporting Indian causes, scholars studying Indian ways, and San Francisco hipples who want to become Indians, too."--BOOK JACKET.
