Description
The US government stole the Black Hills from the Sioux, as it stole land from every tribe across North America. Forcibly relocated, American Indians were enslaved under strict land and resource regulations. Indigenous writer Angie Elita Newell brings a poignant retelling of the catastrophic, true story of the 1876 Battle of Little Bighorn and the social upheaval that occurred on the Pine Ridge Reservation in 1972 during the height of the American Indian Movement.
Cheyenne warrior Little Wolf fights to maintain her people’s land and heritage as General Custer leads a devastating campaign against American Indians, killing anyone who refuses to relocate to the Red Cloud Agency in South Dakota. A century later, on that same reservation, Little Wolf’s relation Nancy Swiftfox raises four boys with the help of her father-in-law, while facing the economic and social ramifications of this violent legacy.
All I See Is Violence weaves love, loss, and hard truths into a story that needs to be told—a journey through violence to bear witness to all that was taken, to honor what all of our ancestors lived through, and to heal by acknowledging the shadows in order to find the light.
Advance Praise
“All I See Is Violence brilliantly depicts the harsh realities of life for Native Americans, past and present. Angie Elita Newell is an extraordinarily gifted writer who has authored what will prove to be a timeless classic of literature.”
- Dr. Robert Mallett, author of Mussolini in Ethiopia, 1919–1935
"History tells us what happens at the end of this battle, but Angie Elita Newell makes it personal, especially after witnessing Little Wolf's evolution into a warrior worthy of the storyline's heart. Very highly recommended."
- Readers' Favorite, 5 stars
"This deftly woven debut by Newell offers a deeply personal look at the largely ignored lives, experiences, and histories of Indigenous Americans. Newell skillfully weaves together the perspectives of three main characters...This is a work of art."
- Publishers Weekly BookLife
"Angie Elita Newell’s potent historical novel All I See Is Violence covers a war for land, identity, and justice...the indomitable Plains Tribes face war and the complexities of race, identity, and generational trauma."
- Foreword Clarion
"Newell does a fine job capturing the stakes of these respective conflicts, contextualizing the long struggle between Indigenous activists and a government that refuses to recognize their humanity. A richly orchestrated novel of Indigenous resistance."
