The New Powwow Highway

The New Powwow Highway - the inside story of the revolutionary American Indian Movement (AIM), of indigenous natives fighting the illegal and genocidal oppression of the United States in the last third of the 20th century. Wounded Knee massacres in South Dakota, targeted U.S. Government assassinations of legitimate 'Indian' leaders all over the American hemisphere, the continuing imprisonment of many Indian leaders in AIM like Leonard Peltier who were defending their unarmed camps from the FBI, and many other atrocious stories of murder and deceit by David Seals, who was in the AIM leadership from 1971-Present. Seals is the author of the underground classic novel and feature film 'The Powwow Highway' (produced by George Harrison), and many other books and plays chronicling the tragedy and comedy of his fellow warriors all around North and South America. Reviews of some of his other books, like 'Sweet Medicine' [Random House, NY, 1992], included a full page NY Times rave review describing it as "a comic masterpiece, full of elequent rage, adventure, and sex." The Denver Post wrote in 1984, "Seals takes us into the places where Indians live, not yesterday, but today, and into their hearts, their lovemaking, and their tragedies."
