description: Billy Frank, Jr., has been celebrated as a visionary, but if we go deeper and truer, we learn that he is best understood as plainspoken bearer of traditions, a messenger, passing along messages from his father, from his grandfather, from those further back, from all Indian people, really. They are messages about the natural world, about societies past, about this society, and about societies to come. When examined rigorously - not out of any romanticism but out of our own enlightened self-interest - these messages can be of great practical use to us in this and future years. - Charles Wilkinson, from the introduction.
