Of all the presents I received from my dad on Christmas, this was the one I was most excited about. It is a children‘s book that tells the life story of Sitting Bull. My dad was so upset that he accidentally bought me a children‘s book, but this was the perfect way to peak my interest into a new reading subject. The book is stunning, with photographs and drawings covering each page. And it was written in a wonderfully beautiful and engaging way.

Difficult to categorize - a white man gets a call to come visit with an Indian elder and help him write a book of his observations. It's fascinating, frustrating and meaningful. Worth picking up for sure.

This one is tough. I couldn‘t power through it quickly like I usually do, as it was a slow burn. The end had me crying and cursing my high school (lack of) education. It was barbaric and sad and quiet and powerful. I never want to read it again.
⭐️: 3.75/5

What a beautiful and moving book. I was brought to tears multiple times.

4/5⭐ Not an easy book. It depicts the grim reality of living in the USA as a Native American woman: the racism, police brutality, sexual assault & rape, murder, kidnapping, cultural annihilation, dehumanization, & injustice at every level possible. The author's voice shines through with so many emotions & self-reflections. These are the historical & current issues that can't be brushed under a rug & can't continue to be unrepaired. #roll100

I thought I had read this before but I didn‘t remember it. Very sad and depressing.

A young man learns about his Lakota heritage from his grandfather‘s storytelling, and by traveling with him to the lands where Crazy Horse grew up, and later defended his people in the Battle of Little Bighorn in Montana. Well done, Mr. Marshall!
