pickThis was a difficult book because the ending is well known and tragic. Black Elk describes growing up as a Lakota while the US government was stealing more and more land. He shares the sacred vision given to him as a young man, his efforts to understand his vision and bring it to life, and how the massacre at Wounded Knee ended his fight. 300 murdered, many women and children.
An important read.
so-soThis book takes a hard look at grief after the loss of a child, racism, and Native American experiences. From the title, I thought it would be a bit more about Alice but it's mostly about the men in her life. #NativeAmerican #Motherhood
pickPretty good book but I would have liked to see even more detail and any more conflicts they had with others in the military. Also wanted some more about the Navajo culture. Otherwise I'd recommend it if you are into WW2 history.
