versial American Indian leader of our time. Where White Men Fear to Tread is the well-detailed, first-hand story of his life, in which he did everything possible to dramatize and justify the American Indian aim of self-determination, such as storming Mount Rushmore, seizing Plymouth Rock, running for President in 1988, and--most notoriously--leading a 71-day takeover of Wounded Knee, South Dakota, in 1973.

This visionary autobiography by one of our most magnetic personalities will fascinate, educate, and inspire. As Dee Brown has written, A reading of Means's story is essential for any clear understanding of American Indians during the last half of the twentieth century.
