Summary of Debby Irving's Waking Up White

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 My mother told me a story about how the Navajos were almost completely wiped out by alcohol and disease brought to them by white colonists. I never questioned the truth of her narrative, as it was in line with the peaceful images in my books. #2 I grew up hearing the stories about the Indians and their fate from my mother, and I came to believe that Indians were dangerous and inferior to white people.
