Book Description
Nasdijj was born in 1950s America to migrant parents-a white cowboy father and a tenderhearted Navajo mother. Surviving the brutal conditions of migrant camps in Texas, Florida, Oklahoma, and North Carolina, Nasdijj and his little brother, Tso, raced trains and found sanctuary in Navajo stories they had heard at bedtime, whispered tales about Spider Woman, Sa, Geronimo, and Coyote. After their mother's tragic death from alcohol, the young brothers were left in the care of their sometimes indifferent, often abusive, occasionally loving father. Rarely in school, the boys picked cotton, tomatoes, potatoes, apples, peaches, beans, and artichokes. Eventually, to escape this indentured servitude, Nasdijj and Tso stole a car and ran away. Told in brilliant flashes of poetry, narrative, and song, Geronimo's Bones reveals a world that to this day remains hidden from most Americans. But Nasdijj's work derives its special power from his ability to capture the universal emotions that we all share: hate and love, loss and remembrance. Book jacket.

Book Description
Nasdijj's critically acclaimed, award-winning memoir, "The Blood Runs Like a River Through My Dreams, took the literary world by storm. "An authentic, important book," raved "Esquire. "Unfailingly honest and very nearly perfect." Now, this celebrated Native American writer has given readers a powerful, brave, and deeply moving memoir of the unconditional love between a father and a son. Eleven-year-old Awee came to live with Nasdijj carrying a brown paper bag containing all his belongings, a legacy of abuse, and AIDS. But this beautiful, loving, and intelligent little boy also had enormous hope for his new life. "The Boy and the Dog Are Sleeping is the heart-rending but also joyous story of this untraditional little family, filled with love and laughter, but also with great pain, as Awee became progressively more ill. Nasdijj writes about their motorcycle trip to see the ocean for the first time, about baths and baseball, about Awee's "big brother" Crow Dog, and his dog, Navajo, but also about the brutal realities of reservation life and the challenges of dealing with a sometimes hostile medical establishment that often lacks the knowledge to treat pediatric AIDS. In the end, Nasdijj must find his own way of alleviating Awee's suffering--and of helping him maintain his dignity in the face of a disease that gradually robs him of himself. By turns searing and searching, lyrical and raw, "The Boy and the Dog "Are Sleeping is ultimately transcendent--for in the end Awee got what he wanted most in his short life: a real dad. "

Book Description
In the tradition of Empire of the Summer Moon, a stunningly vivid historical account of the manhunt for Geronimo and the 25-year Apache struggle for their homeland. They called him Mickey Free. His kidnapping started the longest war in American history, and both sides--the Apaches and the white invaders—blamed him for it. A mixed-blood warrior who moved uneasily between the worlds of the Apaches and the American soldiers, he was never trusted by either but desperately needed by both. He was the only man Geronimo ever feared. He played a pivotal role in this long war for the desert Southwest from its beginning in 1861 until its end in 1890 with his pursuit of the renegade scout, Apache Kid. In this sprawling, monumental work, Paul Hutton unfolds over two decades of the last war for the West through the eyes of the men and women who lived it. This is Mickey Free's story, but also the story of his contemporaries: the great Apache leaders Mangas Coloradas, Cochise, and Victorio; the soldiers Kit Carson, O. O. Howard, George Crook, and Nelson Miles; the scouts and frontiersmen Al Sieber, Tom Horn, Tom Jeffords, and Texas John Slaughter; the great White Mountain scout Alchesay and the Apache female warrior Lozen; the fierce Apache warrior Geronimo; and the Apache Kid. These lives shaped the violent history of the deserts and mountains of the Southwestern borderlands--a bleak and unforgiving world where a people would make a final, bloody stand against an American war machine bent on their destruction.
