Book Description
This book is about the importance of honesty and trust. It is about strategic and competent communication, which also comes with suspending judgment before the facts. With this kind of communication, which could be ritualized or relatable, the squirrels were able to be friends with the lions. Although the parent squirrels doubted the honesty and sincerity of the lion when he told the little squirrel and her mother that he will not only protect them for the sake of his daughter who wanted to be friends with the little squirrel so bad when they met at her mother’s farm, but he will give them food they can eat for one year. That is, should the squirrels agree to visit the lions’ home as the younger lioness requested. The squirrels were scared, given the lions’ carnivorous history as designed by nature. With the openness of their young daughter, her ability to listen, and the honesty of the younger lion, they killed their fear, opened up to the lions, and visited their home—a gesture that was returned by the lions. The lions kept their promise and stayed honest. Therefore, if these animals could understand the importance/benefit of honesty, trust, and keeping promises, then human beings can do better. We have done better, but we need to do more to become best and succeed in our friendships and relationships as individuals and with governments and corporations, governments to governments, or between nations, etc. Even as we strive to become better and best in our friendships and relationships, we must not be scared or worried about failing in the process or making mistakes. It is all right to make mistakes, so the fear of perfection or imperfection should not deter us from working hard and failing to become best. Like good and bad or success and failure, mistake is part of life. In short, it is said to be the raw material of success, but only if and when we are determined and committed to succeeding—and not make deliberate mistakes that could be dangerous and destructive.

Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 9780803296299
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
With wry humor and imaginative acuity, noted writer Gerald Vizenor offers compelling glimpses of modern Native American life and the different ways that Native Americans and whites interact, fight, and resolve their conflicts. The elusive borderland between white and Native American cultures is further complicated by exchanges of money, services, language, and skills that make up what Vizenor calls the ?new fur trade.? When Native Americans resist dominance, they fight back incisively and creatively with humor in the strategic word wars of survivance over victimry. ø Vizenor illuminates the troubling encounters and distant reaches of this modernist fur trade through his creative narratives. Especially memorable is the reincarnation of General George Custer as the head of Native American programs and the mystifying play of words between charity agencies and Native Americans. Several of Vizenor?s stories focus on a so-called urban reservation, Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis. In the last section Vizenor recalls his experiences and observations while reporting on the murder trial of a young Native American student, Thomas White Hawk, in South Dakota.
