2019 National Native American Hall of Fame Inductee

This stirring memoir is the story of Ada Deer, the first woman to serve as head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Deer begins, "I was born a Menominee Indian. That is who I was born and how I have lived." She proceeds to narrate the first eighty-three years of her life, which are characterized by her tireless campaigns to reverse the forced termination of the Menominee tribe and to ensure sovereignty and self-determination for all tribes.

Deer grew up in poverty on the Menominee Reservation in Wisconsin, but with the encouragement of her mother and teachers, she earned degrees in social work from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Columbia University. Armed with a first-rate education, an iron will, and a commitment to justice, she went from being a social worker in Minneapolis to leading the struggle for the restoration of the Menominees' tribal status and trust lands.

Having accomplished that goal, she moved on to teach American Indian Studies at UW-Madison, to hold a fellowship at Harvard, to work for the Native American Rights Fund, to run unsuccessfully for Congress, and to serve as Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Indian Affairs in the Clinton administration.

Now in her eighties, Deer remains as committed as ever to human rights, especially the rights of American Indians. A deeply personal story, written with humor and honesty, this book is a testimony to the ability of one individual to change the course of history through hard work, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to social justice.

How to understand the regions of captivity you may find yourself in and be free in Jesus name.
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I enjoyed the reading of Regions of Captivity by Dr. Ana Mendez Ferrell, recommended by my Pastor at SGLM. This book is so important in our understanding of the different levels of regions captivity, we can find ourselves in and not realize that we are in bondage as a Christian or as a non-Christian. All we know that things are not working out, you are feeling a certain way, and you keep seeing a repeat of things happening in your life and in your family life as well, that's because your soul is in captivity in one of the regions that's revealed in this book. I highly recommend this book so you will know how to fight and release your soul and your bloodline out of these regions of captivity. And I thank God for showing us how the enemy is fighting against us in the spiritual realm and how we can be set free, because whom the LORD sets free is free indeed. Amen

I definitely plan on reading this book again-it is necessary to read it a few times to better understand some things
It was a very unique book. IT opens a whole new dimension to spiritual warfare-it's incredible but a little advanced for me. I'm no stranger to demonic warfare as I have cleared a few houses of this phenomina and my own from time to time. Surely this is the most advanced book I have run across. It also deals with healing and getting into the spirit to stand before and talk directly to God and Jesus. I have a friend that also visits the holy one's and Anna's experiences are very similir so I believe her wholeheartedly. She then exposes how the Demons take controll of whole cities-I read this also in John Ramirez's books(he was an ex-satan worshiper) so I think she is spot on. Also of interest is the multi-generational curses that hold families hostage-she gets into that too. I disagree strongly with her view on astral projection-it is not always demonic in nature. I have done it for many years and I am not satanic at all-but a strong believer in God. Also I disagree with her views about hospitals. I definitely plan on reading this book again-it is necessary to read it a few times to better understand some things. If someone is interested in opening themselves up to seeing and hearing in the spirit world this is one of the books to read.
