When looking for writing by Native Americans, you may find listings for books by Forrest Carter. These include "The Education of Little Tree," "The Rebel Outlaw: Josey Wales" (aka "Gone to Texas")
& "Watch for me on the Mountain" (aka "Cry Geronimo"). But he's no Cherokee! This is a pseudonym for white supremacist speechwriter Asa Earl Carter. Like the fictional character Forrest Gump, his first name is
from Nathan Bedford Forrest - founder of the Ku Klux Klan.
