Indeh

Meaning The Dead.

Down-loaded a preview not noticing I'd selected a different book with an identical title on the same subject. Ethan Hawke's book is a so-called graphic novel. I haven't read a comic book since Watchmen. Won this hardcover edition by entering a contest on Goodreads.

What comes through most clearly is the cultural divide between the Apaches who had no word for deceit or untruth, had no understanding of or need for money so they could not be bought, and no conception that anyone could own the land.

The inevitable clash between First Nations and an unending tide of White Settlers could have only one conclusion. 

And yes there is profanity, mind you history is profane.
