Did you know that a significant portion of what you have learned about the Indigenous Nations of North America and of Cuba are incorrect? The information you have been given is tailored to the purposes of those who teach them. It is time for us to look deeply into what we have been given. It is time for us to seek the truth. We have three new books, important and very relevant books, that are ready for self-publishing. These books will help in perusing truth.

Self-publishing is not an easy task. Funding is always an issue; then there is marketing, something writers often find difficult to do. We ask you to participate in this Crowdfunding literary project to have these three very worthy books self-published and made available for distribution to readers.

The books are:

I Dream of Obwaandi’eyaag (Pontiac), Buffaloes and Prairies—Books I and II

and

Un Juego de Dominó—A Game of Dominoes

I Dream of Obwaandi’eyaag (Pontiac), Buffaloes and Prairies—Books I and II is a two-book series of mixed genre: Adventure, Culture, Mythology, Warfare, History, and the books include illustrations, authentic photographs, and notes. The Series brings the adventure of two young men, Akíčhita (Warrior)—a Dakhóta, and Dolph (Noble Wolf), later known as Śuŋktokeca Ska (White Wolf) who is White. They are childhood friends, who are dancing at a pow-wow in Mankato, Minnesota, when they are transported by the mischievous, sometimes malevolent, Dakhóta Spirit, Tawiskaron, from the present day to life on Mother Earth in the early eighteen hundreds on the Northern Plains of North America. There they begin the greatest of adventures, fighting for survival. One day, while trying to kill a buffalo, very unsuccessfully, they are taken by Cheyenne Warriors, and they are soon fully incorporated into their society, their life, and their wars.

The series include historical facts and battles with the White Soldiers like the Battle of the Little Bighorn, the battles of the Lower Sioux Agency, Redwood Ferry, Fort Ridgely, Bloody Run, and others; there are also battles within the Indigenous Nations like the Battle of Wolf Creek; battles between the Apache, Arapaho, Blackfoot, Cheyenne, Comanche, Crow, and Kiowa.

As you read, you will live tragedies like the Sand Creek Massacre and the hanging of 38 Dakhóta Warriors in Mankato, Minnesota.

The books also include authentic personalities like Obwaandi'eyaag (pronounced Obwandiyag)—known as Pontiac, Chiefs Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, Little Crow III, and others.

The cultures, mythologies and legends of the indigenous nations are prevalent, as are Sacred Ceremonies like the Smoke Lodge Ceremony, the Vision Search, the Sun-Gazing Dance. There are meetings with the Creator God, Maheo'o, and other Spirits and there are encounters with Enemy Dwarves and Water-Horned Serpents. But there are also fun and games like the Stick Ball Game.

Once you have read the I Dream of Obwaandi’eyaag (Pontiac), Buffalo and Prairies Series, you will have lived in the magnificent world of the Plains Nations and shared in the greatest of adventures.

Un Juego de Dominó—A Game of Dominoes is a novella, published in both English and Spanish, in the one book. It is set in Centro Habana, Cuba, on Calle Jesús Peregrino.

It is Holy Saturday and four friends have gathered to play dominoes and pass the bottle, as they often did, on the side of the street. Anto is an elderly mentor; the others are young men, Zumo—a doctor, Món—a soldier, and Robo—a bartender.

The novella is not only about dominoes, but the four friends discuss many topics relevant to the Cuba of today, interjected with much humour and laughter. These conversations are guided by Anto, whose only wish, however, is to play dominoes. Topics are varied and center on their lives—topics like the illegal inhumane embargo, the sanctions, and the failure of the world to have them removed.

They discuss the Cuban Revolution and the influences that brought it about; the current threat of aggression; personalities like Fidel Castro and Che Guevara; the famous Cuban festivals, even baseball, basketball, and, of course, jevas—chicas—young ladies. The spirit of resistance and hope, smiles and laughter in difficult times, are prevalent throughout.

Un Juego De Dominó—A Game of Dominoes shares facts about Cuba which you may not be aware of, facts that have been hidden by those who want to keep them buried. Read this book, and you will have the opportunity to look at Cuba from an enlightened perspective.

We hope that you will participate in this very important crowdfunding literary project so that we can self-publish these books and make them accessible to the general reading public, both as print-on-demand and e-books.
