Around the Sacred Fire
Native Religious Activism in the Red Power Era
A narrative map of the Indian Ecumenical Conference
"In unfolding the account of the Indian Ecumenical Conference, Treat forces the reader to abandon the long-held notion of the Red Power movement as a radical, confrontational, protest movement. . . . Treat does a marvelous job in bringing out the issues involved in this period of Native American religious history."--American Studies International
"A hugely detailed historical, sociological, theological, and personal account of the Indian Ecumenical Conference. . . . Highly recommended."--Choice
"A magnificent job of excavating the history of the ecumenical conference and illuminating key personalities involved."--Journal of American History
"Treat has rescued an important area of Indian activism that has gone virtually unnoticed--the Indian Ecumenical Conference. Gathering scattered documents and conducting personal interviews, he presents an exciting history of efforts by traditional people to offer their own solution to modern social problems."--Vine Deloria Jr., author of God Is Red: A Native View of Religion and Custer Died for Your Sins
"The best book on American Indian religion published in the new millennium."--Christopher Vecsey, author of American Indian Catholics (three volumes)
