' PREFACE 0 This booklet was compiled and written as a present to 1)-2. UniveAsity. The idea'tiot 'it came in September 1979wh3i a Native Ammican HeatthCon6nence in San Ftancisco, ,people came to the intionmatiqn tab& set up by tecumseh Center, wanting in6onmatiWn about D--0.1, and therm was nothing to give to them. The 6inat decision was then made in a *convemation with Jack Fonbei who beet, not untike mysetti, thit it would be a waste oti time to spend my whole research yeah. in the UC Davi6-tibnami, pursuing my own research and umiting the tamer study, which, miginatty, I came here to do.So, the iitst chapter 'oti this book was written, until mid-NoveRbet, and David Rizting, Jr., and Jack D. 'Forbes handed in the attictes'inctuded in this collection. Then, Lot seveAat months, I dropped the project allogethen and teamed my own neseanch, waiting Lon other V -QU feopte to contribute that own mateniats. Itn tate November, 1979, Phittip Deene came to ,A-QM an4 gave a speech in tinont oti both 1)-04 and DaViA students. The speech was taped with his peAmis,;ion, Aoe Cattatin, aiso'fAansqAibed two dhen taped mateAiat4 Lon Ilia study, wrote down the speech, Kathy Tappet typed it, and we sent a copy to Oklahoma, asking PhALUp Deuce whether we could . include it in thisstudy. Untiontunatety, Phillip and the peopte-wotking with him dectined out tequest,'saying they wanted to use the speech themselves and that two years ago, white .in Geneva, a French joutnatist had used many speeches and pubtishedthem, white those who had delivered them were tionced to:pay Lon. thgin own hood. Trying to undenstand this amulet, but atzo being still very much interested including something by Phittip Deuce, Jack .Forbes came up with the happy sotation .to quote a,non-copynighted speech by Phittip Deuce, that had been pubtizhed pteviourty. I hope, that this Sotutionwith,/ also please Phittip Veers, who has shown his support eon. 1)-0 on' many occasions. f- In April 1980, this ptoject was picked up again. Nobody else had submitted any contAibutionsby then, and40 itbecamemuch more o6 a one-min project than I had oniginatty expected.The inadequacits'oti this booklet, thenetione, are att mine. A di66enence)in style and method between the tii,W chapten.and the tiottowing, has' to be understood as a nesuttoti the time elapsed and the learning ptocesS I had gone through. Instead oti digging through anchives and /Leading atOt ob .theory, I &died atmoest entiAety on in6onmation given to me by V -QU people, and I am most gtatetiut to att,o6 them. The pictuAe given oti V -QU Az very much that which I encounteijed when I came here, i.e., as an all- Indian college. 1 neitheA had the time not the contacts to obtain intfonmation on .contAibutions tinam Chicano people, and I hope thatAexteara_LAntektcan6witt tiftgive me this omission, and also, that in the tiutune, somebody better quatiiied may present a Chicano'. histony and opinion oti D-24.
