I used this book for many years when I taught my third graders about the Native Americans who lived in Minnesota prior to the arrival of the Euro-American settlers. I became uncomfortable using it when I learned that the word, "Sioux" means "enemy" or "snake" and is a bastardization of the word the Ojibwa had for their enemies, the Dakota.I have also learned recently, from speaking with the Native American families in my school, that I should be suspicious of and try not to use books about Native Americans that are not written by a Native American.I looked for a better book to use and found Michael Bad Hand Terry's book, "Daily Life in a Plains Indian Village 1868" (Clarion, 2001). It has a lot of great information, gorgeous photographs, and is a more accurate portrayal of the Native People of that time. I feel much better using it.
This book was needed to enhance our class study of Native American culture. It was ordered and shipped quickly and was in great condition. I had to think if I ordered it new.
Anti white undertones.
I have used this book for many, many years with my college-age ESL students. It is excellent for an intermediate level class.
My grandson needed to write a report on the Sioux for school, and this book helped him a lot with his assignment.
Purchased this book for my 7 yrs. old grandson. They were studing about the indians at school. He is a 7 yrs. old who loves to read and wants to know about things. He restores alot of facts on things, so this book was perfect. It also arrived as stated on website.
I teach 2nd grade and we study Native Americans. This book is age appropriate and enjoyable. I received the book quickly and in good condition as promised.
