Kent Nerburn Quotes
It Was The Very Fact Of The Note, Stuck On My Windshield On The Red Lake Indian Reservation In Northern Minnesota, Hundreds Of Miles From Where Fatback Had Lived And, Apparently, Died. That, And The Small Deerskin Pouch Of Tobacco That Was Tied To It. Fatback Was A Black Lab - A Good Dog - Who Had Belonged To Dan, An Elderly Lakota Man Who Lived Far Out On The Dakota Plains. Years Before, As A Result Of A Book Of Elders' Memories I Had Done With Students At Red Lake, Dan Had Contacted Me To Come Out To His Home To Speak With Him. His Request Was Vague, And I Had Been Both Skeptical And Apprehensive. But, Reluctantly, I Had Gone, And It Had Changed My Life. We Had Worked Together, Traveled Together, And Created A Book Together In Which The Old Man Told His Stories And Memories And Thoughts About Indian People And Our American Land.
