There is a lot of books, movies and music out there. Lots and lots to explore.

I would like to recommend some of them - those listed below are my personal favorites and you can find more if you are really interested. I recommend that you follow some of my links in Native Americans, About me and the Allrummet. And also look in stores, internet shopping sites and make your own choice.

Books: Non fiction: The Earth Shall Weep by author James Wilson. This is a historical book about what really happened. Every person interested in Native Americans and history should have read it . Bury My heart at Wounded Knee by Vine Deloria JR. Read it! God is Red by Vine Deloria JR In the Spirit of Crazy Horse by Peter Mathiessen Prison Writings : My Life Is My Sun Dance by Leonard Peltier Biographies: Black Elk Speaks : Being the Life Story of a Holy Man of the Oglala Sioux by Black Elk, John Gneisenau Neihardt, Nicholas Black Elk Lame Deer Seeker of Visions by John Fire Lame Deer and Richard Erdoes.

Movies/Videos In the Spirit of Crazy Horse (documentary) Incident at Oglala (documentary) 500 Nations (non fiction) Lost Child (non fiction drama) Fiction Dance me Outside Smoke Signals Sioux City Clear Cut Thunder Heart Black Robe The Last of the Mohicans Windtalkers Music Some of you like Pow Wow music ( mostly drums) and other traditional music, and some want to listen to contemporary music. I recommend you to listen to a certain Pow wow CD: The 1999 Gathering of Nations CD There is a sound track I can recommend: Smoke Signals - it has a wonderful mix... Also the sound track from Sioux city is a good one - but that one is hard to get today. There you will find a mixed collection of Pow Wow music - and it is good. And if you want to listen to contemporary music, listen to Bill Miller! He has made several records and make tours every year in the US. If I had to choose I should listen to Reservation Road, and Ghost dance - but they are all very excellent. Do not miss John Trudell, he is a rock poet and is not really singing his lyrics, but you have to listen to him. If you like country style, listen to Buddy Red Bow. Buddy Red Bow has left us - too early - but he made some records, look for at least two of them: Journey to the Spirit World and Black Hill Dreamer

Go to Amazon.com and search for books, CD:s and videos. Do not forget their auction site. It is worth a try. eBay is also an option - I have found lots of things there. And of course, there will be other sites to, but these are my favorites. eBay
