Summary: The Sioux (Reviewed by Don Larson)
Comment: I found this book at an Indian Store in Escondido, California while attending a Pow Wow there in May 2000.
I have been a follower of Red Cloud for over twenty years now and feel a great affinity for the Sioux Indians for some reason.
My previous thoughts about what is was like to be a Sioux member were badly mistaken. This book takes the time to lay out the fundamental aspects of this tribe's, history, land movements, and cultural elements.
The cultural elements include their beliefs and are quite profound. Descriptions are given to how an individual is treated as an infant, young child, young adult, and adult. The distinctions between male and female roles are explained fully.
By the reading and absorption of the book's various chapters, I now have a much better appreciation for the difficulties the Sioux population experienced preceding the 20th Century.
Anyone who truly desires to understand one of the most powerful Plains Indians tribes should read this book.
