Written by acclaimed author, Harvey Arden, Have You Thought of Leonard Peltier Lately? documents the last eight tumultuous years he has spent working towards the freedom of Leonard Peltier. This book focuses on Harvey's involvement with Leonard while working as editor on Peltier's now-classic Prison Writings: My Life Is My Sun Dance (1999), and as a continuing champion of his Cause--which is the Cause of all people who value freedom and justice in this world. Along with Harvey's story, we are gifted with the stories and words of other important writers, including Peltier himself. One highlight is an in-depth look at Leonard as an Artist, with 8 full page color pictures of some of his most wonderful paintings that he has created while in prison. The colors and emotions that he emits reflect an inward beauty that projects far beyond the walls of his stark confinement.

Harvey Arden, while working with National Geographic, went to Kyle, on the Pine Ridge Reservation, in February 1983 and met with Mathew, who let Harvey into the depths of his rich history, thoughts, and visions of the world. After many years of friendship, Harvey decided to organize and edit a book of Mathew's writings and interviews out, calling it "Noble Red Man".
When Harvey was asked by David Lee if he was interested in recording readings from the book, he agreed—not only giving a powerful spoken-word performance of Mathew’s transformative words, but adding his own moving first-hand memories of meeting and getting to know Mathew. These one-of-a-kind recordings have now been put into a CD, with haunting accompanying music by composer Jeff Foreman. * Noble Red Man was nominated for 2 Native American Music Awards during the 13th annual NAMMY awards.

Harvey Arden, while working with National Geographic, went to Kyle, on the Pine Ridge Reservation, in February 1983 and met with Mathew, who let Harvey into the depths of his rich history, thoughts, and visions of the world. After many years of friendship, Harvey decided to organize and edit a book of Mathew’s writings and interviews out, calling it Noble Red Man.
King shares the story of the struggles of the Lakota people, his spirituality, and our personal Instructions and Responsibilities we must follow in life. After Mathew passed on to the spirit world, Harvey spent a great deal of time taking interviews, personal correspondence, and recordings Mathew’s family gave him access to, and formed the book into what feels like an intimate conversation with King, himself.

In 1977, Leonard Peltier received a life sentence for the murder of two FBI agents. He has affirmed his innocence ever since--his case was made fully and famously in Peter Matthiessen's bestselling In the Spirit of Crazy Horse--and many remain convinced he was wrongly convicted. Prison Writings is a wise and unsettling book, both memoir and manifesto, chronicling his life in Leavenworth Prison in Kansas. Invoking the Sun Dance, in which pain leads one to a transcendent reality, Peltier explores his suffering and the insights it has borne him. He also locates his experience within the history of the American Indian peoples and their struggles to overcome the federal government's injustices.

This is their book. They are the Elders, the Old Ones, the fragile repositories of sacred ways and natural wisdom going back millennia -- yet never more relevant than today.
Unfortunately we no longer have any inventory of this signed, collectible edition.
After receiving "signs" foretold by the Cherokee, they set off on a journey of spiritual discovery through another world, called Great Turtle Island, where the Old Ones -- the Wisdomkeepers of aboriginal culture in North America -- bestowed upon them piece by surprising piece a set of "rules for being human" called "Original Instructions."
Arden and Wall eventually left their Geographic careers and journalism altogether, and in 1990 produced an interim report on their spirit journey, their now-classic international bestseller Wisdomkeepers: Meeting with Native American Spiritual Elders. In that book they recalled, "We went out two journalists after a good story. We came back two 'runners' from another world, carrying an urgent message from the Wisdomkeepers. This book is that message."
Now, in Travels in a Stone Canoe, that message is further deepened and elaborated as the authors reveal the intensely personal story behind -- and beyond -- their journey to the Wisdomkeepers. A final, incandescent chapter, "Original Instructions," sums up the transforming and highly practical wisdom they found. "Wisdom," they learned, "is not something you believe. It's something you do." This is a story that will inform, enlighten, and move every reader who accompanies the authors in their Travels in a Stone Canoe.
