An eye opening experience into the native tribe/tribes my grandfather knows and a man he admires. Fighting Tuscarora tells the story of the six nation confederacy’s relentless fight with the United States and Canada as they strive to protect their land and way of life. Was very refreshing how matter of the fact chief rickard spoke with, this book reminded me why my grandfather always used to bring me to Native American museum’s and what makes them such a special tragedy in our history

An amazing and fascinating read. I am honored to be Tuscarora. This is a book that I will definitely be re-reading.
