Description
One Voice Rising is a memoir by Ute healer, elder, and historian Clifford Duncan, as told to Anglo writer, Linda Sillitoe. Duncan (1933-2014) was an inspiring leader and a powerful medicine man, and he was, as Sillitoe wrote, "simultaneously one of the most bicultural and traditional American Indians in the West." Duncan here covers both personal and tribal history during a crucial period in the tribe's development. His discussions with Sillitoe offer a unique look at individual and societal issues, including the Native American Church, powwows and tribal celebrations, and interactions with the larger world. George Janecek's photographs of Clifford Duncan and his world expand the impact of Duncan's words.
"Everything was Indian then, when I was a boy. They had to explain to us about the white man''s side. Now everything is in the white man''s world and we teach Indian ways."
-Clifford Duncan (from the book)
