11.Crazy Horse: The Strange Man of the Oglalas (50th Anniversary Edition) by: Mari Sandoz January 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.95
Crazy Horse has held a deep and sacred passion for me since childhood, I thoroughly enjoyed Mari Sandoz's book but can not understand why her account has Hump dying at the hands of the Snake's and in a time frame before Crazy Horse's own death(1877), one has only to read Dee Brown's "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" and view a photo of Hump dated in 1890 at Fort Bennett, South Dakota, additional research indicates that Hump died long after Crazy Horse. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could clarify this for me.

Anyone interested in the story tellings of Native Americans will find this to be a must have read. Not only does the book share many stories that reflect and teach one about life but the book weaves these stories into the books plot and story line. It is a wonderfully written and insightful book.

13.Pretty-shield: Medicine Woman of the Crows (Bison Book) by: Frank B. Linderman October 01, 1973
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $12.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $11.01 You Save: $1.94 (15%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $0.01
This biographical information about Pretty Shield, a Wise One of the Crow was originally compiled and published in the 1930's by Linderman. This book is the third reprint of the original story and contains a new preface by Alma Snell (Pretty Shield's granddaughter) and Becky Matthews. Linderman was called Sign-talker by the Crow due to his insistence that his interview subjects spoke in signs even when a translator was present. His earlier biography about Pretty Shield's clansmen, Plenty Coups, gained him unprecedented respect and admiration within this clan. Due to this distinguished reputation, Pretty Shield was willing to tell Linderman stories about her seventy-four years and about the lives of women before and after the coming of the White men and the decline of the bison herds. ...

14.Indian Boyhood by: Charles A. Eastman 2003-03
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $95.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $83.00
This is a most excellent book because it is "AUTHENTIC" and not one that speaks of prejudice and the horrors of the Native American experience; instead, it allows you to catch a glimpse of what is now lost, a world of beauty and wonder. I highly recommend it to anyone: young or old; red, white, brown, or yellow -- a book that should be preserved and revered.

17.Ojibwa Warrior: Dennis Banks and the Rise of the American Indian Movement by: Dennis Banks, Richard Erdoes 2004-04
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.99
Dennis Banks has much to answer for before he can call himself a "Warrior" ... He needs to disclose his role, and the role of the AIM leadership, in the kidnapping and murder of Anna Mae Aquash, with whom he had an affair while his wife was with child. Anna Mae is a heroine to those who remember her role in the fight for Indian rights -- especially land rights and the restoration of treaty agreements. She was murdered, according to court testimony, because AIM leadership believed she was an FBI informer, a charge later proved false. Who in the AIM leadership ordered this murder? Who knew? Who could have stopped it? Anyone interested in this period of history knows there are troubling, unanswered questions about whom we hold accountable for this crime. Dennis Banks needs to come forward with full disclosure.

18.The Falcon (Classic, Nature, Penguin) by: John Tanner February 28, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.99
In 1789 when he was a nine year-old boy, his mother already dead, John Tanner's family settled upon a Kentucky farm where the Big Miami and Ohio rivers meet. Shortly thereafter, this piece of "Dark and Bloody Ground" was visited by a Shawnee war party. Two Indians seized young Tanner and forcibly marched him north toward modern day Toledo, then up to Detroit. The child was taken further north to live with his captive family, made to work and bear burdens, purposely starved, frequently beaten, and at one point tomahawked for having fallen asleep in exhaustion. Two years of this cruel treatment was relieved when the boy was purchased in Mackinac by an old Ottawa woman, Net-no-kwa. This formidable human being was the leader of her band and with her John Tanner, now called Shaw-shaw-wa ne-ba-se (the Falcon), ... Read More

20.Mabel McKay: Weaving the Dream (Portraits of American Genius, 1) by: Greg Sarris September 01, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.00
I read this for my book club. It was pretty good, though let's be honest... i have a very low interest in native american culture. It was pretty cool to learn about the transition from back then to modern times, and how the native american indian culture transformed to adapt. Especially here in the northern california area. Worthwhile read with amazing information.
