Author of Hidden Disgrace: Revealing the Distress Signals Covered by North American Indian Myths
“Hidden Disgrace is the result of a visit to Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota in April 2014, after which David grappled with understanding the reasons for the harsh living conditions there. It is further the result of researching the history of Indians generally in the United States and gauging whether that history is accurately depicted. It also incorporates the views of Indian writers and intellectuals, both men and women, whose views often seem to be drowned out by those failing to understand the challenges of Indians in the United States as unique. Through meticulous research, Hidden Disgrace pierces through the veil of descriptions of Indians as either savages or “Noble Savages” and describes them as real people with both strengths and weaknesses.” https://davidfierst.com/hidden-disgrace-book/
