As we travel back down the timeline to 1970, America had just closed its history book on the Attica riots. The Kent State University tragedies and then the Jackson Riots screamed out new headlines. The Native American takeovers of Alcatraz and Wounded Knee were still freshly opened gashes-not to mention the famous American War in Vietnam. However, there happened to be a minute slice of American history that became played down, tossed on the back burner and forgotten as time ran away. This was the final Indian takeover that brought about Indian casinos. This biography of John Waubanascum, one of the leaders of the Menominee Warrior Society, showed why the young tribal natives chose the motto, "Deed or Death"; and how John unintentionally become a war hero during the Vietnam War. The warriors were within their rights to take the building unused and land in accordance to an ancient forgotten Wisconsin treaty. This account is told in the local timber wolves' point of view, since they shared their land with the Natives and suffered through the bitter war of the Alexian Brother's Catholic Novitiate Takeover in Gresham, Wisconsin, back down the timeline in 1975.

This is a gripping, fast action tale that takes place in the dangerous and exciting time of the Utah territory in the 1880's. It is a time when the Ute Indians are trying desperately to thwart the advancing white population and is told primarily from the Indian point of view as obtained from interviews from Chief Posey's relatives on the White Mesa reservation. "The bullet struck her back. She crawled away, gritting her teeth and trying not to yell out in pain which would surely bring more bullets in her direction. Not wanting to give away the position of the two braves and herself, she clenched her teeth as her agony increased, and to make sure she was not heard, she pulled a corner of the shawl from her shoulder and put it in her mouth to smother her cries. She died there in the bushes without a sound, protecting those she loved."

Shortly after the sacking of Mexico by the Spaniards, the leaders of New Spain heard many rumors of the riches existing in the vast area north of Mexico. In both 1540 and 1599, the viceroy of Mexico formed very large armies to march to the north and find and loot the wealth from areas reputed to being very rich. Francisco Coronado headed the first expedition, but in Cibola and Quivira found the Indians to be very poor and living in skin lodges. Coronado returned to Mexico in great disgrace. Despite the Coronado failures, the Spanish leaders still believed that Quivira possessed rich gold mines. They commissioned Juan de Onaté to lead another expensive expedition to investigate the area. Upon reaching Quivira, Onaté met the same fate as Coronado. He found no gold and had to retreat in ignominious defeat. In spite of the failings of Onaté, the men of his expedition had a great interplay with the Indians of Quivira. On one occasion, they helped defend the Pawnee Indians from the Comanche tribe. So great was the Spaniard quest for gold, that 180 years after Coronado, the Spaniards under Don Pedro de Villasur again invaded Quivira. At this late date under the influence of the French, the Oto and Pawnee attacked the Spaniards along the Platte River and decimated their army. This defeat then spelled the end of the Spanish power on the Great Plains.

Within six months of the Japanese attack of Pearl Harbor in December 1941, seventy-five hundred American Indians enlisted in the military, and the numbers grew steadily. By war's end, at least twenty-five thousand American Indian men and women had served in the armed forces, far outstripping the numbers, per capita, of those who served from other ethnic groups. Yet Native American service in the United States military is rarely mentioned. Native Americans continue in the proud warrior traditions practiced by many of their ancestors, despite continued ignorance of their tribal ways demonstrated by the federal government and the American populace. Understanding the motives and actions of American Indians has always been hard for the general public, but this has never deterred American Indians from acting from the heart. Indians have fought in every theater of the war, often assigned to the most dangerous operations or duties. They became bomber pilots, scouts, communications experts, gunners, commandos, and even brigadier generals. Today, Native American men and women continue to enlist and serve with distinction in all branches of the armed services, and their tribal communities carry on proud traditions that include honoring those who've participated in the defense of their homeland. From Warriors to Soldiers tells the untold story of what they've done and why they've done it.
