I don’t read that much …
But I have read these:
Goodreads says: “A heartbreaking story of victory, defeat, and of a spiritual search in a profane world, this is the story of Night Bear and his people. It is the tale of the land they cherish and the lives they hold sacred,
lived until the enemy can no longer be stopped,
and the dead have few left to weep for them.”
Goodreads says: “In a world that knows too well the anguish inherent in the clash of old ways and new lifestyles, Margaret Craven’s classic and timeless story of a young man’s journey into the Pacific Northwest
is as relevant today as ever.”
Goodreads says: “Black Elk met the distinguished poet, writer, and critic John G. Neihardt in 1930 on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota and asked Neihardt to share his story with the world. Neihardt understood and conveyed Black Elk’s experiences in this powerful and inspirational message for all humankind.
Goodreads says: “The story of a remarkable spiritual journey, the first awesome steps on the road to becoming “a man of knowledge,” the road that continues with A Separate Reality and Journey to Ixtlan.”
Some believe these are works of fiction.
They are not.
“The culture and civilization of the White man are essentially material; his measure of success is, “How much property have I acquired for myself?” The culture of the Red man is fundamentally spiritual; his measure of success is, “How much service have I rendered to my people?”

I will likely recall others, but these are all that come to
mind and heart at this moment.
