The Girl Who Sang to the Buffalo
The Girl Who Sang to the Buffalo: A Child, an Elder, and the Light from an Ancient Sky | Kent Nerburn
3 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
A haunting dream that will not relent pulls author Kent Nerburn back into the hidden world of Native America, where dreams have meaning, animals are teachers, and the “old ones” still have powers beyond our understanding. In this moving narrative, we travel through the lands of the Lakota and the Ojibwe, where we encounter a strange little girl with an unnerving connection to the past, a forgotten asylum that history has tried to hide, and the complex, unforgettable characters we have come to know from Neither Wolf nor Dog and The Wolf at Twilight. Part history, part mystery, part spiritual journey and teaching story, The Girl Who Sang to the Buffalo is filled with the profound insight into humanity and Native American culture we have come to expect from Nerburn’s journeys. As the American Indian College Fund has stated, once you have encountered Nerburn’s stirring evocations of America’s high plains and incisive insights into the human heart, “you can never look at the world, or at people, the same way again.”

I will not doubt the spiritualism of the Indigenous Peoples. I devoured this book this weekend. A little girl is sent to an insane asylum because she communicates with animals. The inhumanity. I just can't explain how devastated I feel.

I love this series by Kent Nerburn. This the 3rd book and I recommend these books to people who seek insight into Native American culture. These books will change how you look at the world. Native Lives Matter.

Suet624 I just purchased this book and then saw your comment that it was the third book. Do I need to read the first two? 5y
