Native American Essays

Unapologetically punk, the essays in Thunder Song segue from the miraculous to the mundane, from the spiritual to the physical, as they examine the role of art—in particular music—and community in helping a new generation of indigenous people claim the strength of their heritage while defining their own path in the contemporary world.

Attraverso il racconto, popolato di voci e testimonianze dirette, dei più sacri simboli degli indiani d’America, questo audiolibro immerge l'ascoltatore nella meravigliosa vastità della cultura dei nativi americani, e lo rende partecipe dell'impressionante potenza della loro spiritualità naturalistica e delle immagini che popolano, terse e grandiose, il loro – e nostro – mondo divino.

This book is the first volume of a collection of RoadRUNNER travelogues created by James T. Parks, which focus on locations and routes steeped in American history. Jim’s original articles are scattered piecemeal throughout various RoadRUNNER bimonthly issues, spanning more than a decade of time. With that in mind, we have updated information, where feasible, that appeared in the original articles. Listeners who are interested in how America came to be what it is today will find this integrated collection of historically themed adventures of particular interest.
