E. Donald Two-Rivers (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. E. Donald "Ed" Two-Rivers (sometimes known as Donald Two-River) was Anishinaabe (the correct term for people from the Native American tribe also known as the Ojibwa/Chippewa). He was a noted poet, playwright and spoken-word performer. Brought up first on the reservation and then in the urban Native community in Chicago, Two-Rivers has been an activist for Native rights since the 1970s, for which he was awarded the Iron Eyes Cody Award for Peace in 1992. He is also an accomplished poet, who has, among other honours, been awarded the American Book Award in 1992. A critic of "victim politics," Two-Rivers is a strong supporter of programs that give disadvantaged Native peoples the chance to stand on their own two feet.
