- catalog abstract "Henry Hihesua, a Comanche of the Quahada band, has led an ordinary modern American Indian life filled with extraordinary moments. Growing up in the 1920s and 1930s on his family's allotment outside Duncan, Oklahoma, Mihesua was a member of a family of farmers who gave part of what they grew to black sharecroppers and often helped feed their poorer white neighbors. Never afraid of controversy and always the first to fight, Henry Mihesua fell in love with and married a white woman and then served a dangerous tour of duty in the Marines in post-World War II China. In the 1950s he took a chance and, encouraged by a federal government program, relocated along with many other Indians to seek urban emplyment in California. Barely surviving a horrific traffic accident, Mihesua eventually returned to Oklahoma, where he has spent the last few decades fighting racism and attempts to take his family's land, eschewing local politics yet also taking many steps to reclaim and revitialize connections to his Comanche family and culture, past and present.".
