Red Blood: One (Mostly) White Guy's Encounter With the Native World
Red Blood One White Guy's Encounter With the Native World - Mostly Author:Robert Hunter Robert Hunter's courageous activism as a founder of the Greenpeace movement (and the man behind the Rainbow Warrior theme) often placed him shoulder-to-shoulder with Native peoples fighting the same "good fight" on behalf of Mother Earth. In Red Blood, this straight-talking storyteller takes readers along for a wild ride as he recounts so... more »me of his most dramatic escapades in the fight for social and environmental justice.
Hunter's adventures include a spectacular (and at times hilarious) Caribbean journey aboard the Sea Shepherd II with a group of British Columbian Indian chiefs. Their mission: intercept the Columbus 500-year commemorative fleet of 1992 and, with cameras rolling, extract an official apology from Spain for the resulting centuries of unfair treatment of indigenous peoples. Hunter also describes a ceremony in which he was adopted as an honorary Brother of the Kwakiutl; a transforming experience in a Cree sweat lodge; and a tense sacred powwow with radicals of the Native movement.
From the profound to the profane, from the horrific to the ridiculous, Hunter relates his experiences with humor, vividness, and an appealing honesty that spares no one, least of all himself.« less
