If You Lived With The Sioux Indians

1972Ann McGovern

3.4/5

This was one of those books that inflamed my mind when I was younger and probably helped me to develop as part of the adult I am. I had a time when I was younger when I wanted to be a Native American while this book helped me to grasp just what it would take. Due to this is a children's book the writing is very basic and easy-to-understand. Each subject is approached as a question that a child may ask while the answer is given underneath. These answers are very detailed and clearly given while they cover an array of subjects such as how the bison was used, what the clothing styles were, how medicine was perceived and so much more. At the same time the book does a great job in trying to crush prejudices by explaining the Sioux weren't red-skinned but due to it was written in the '90s the book isn't politically correct. The word Indian is used more often than not and buffalo instead of Native American and bison. At the same time, though, the book does cover the problems that the Sioux are facing as a result of the loss of their land. For those who want to educate children on the Sioux I believe this is a great book to get started on while with it being politically incorrect it can lead to a discussion of terms used then and why we use what we do now.
