Description
|
|
|
|
Told in the voice of an Indian girl named Yellow Leaf, and illustrated with realistic watercolors, lift-the-flap features, and two pop-up scenes, this book for readers 4 to 8 describes the history of the Sioux Nation (in particular the Lakota Sioux) just before they were conquered by the United States. The scrapbook-like presentation provides many details of day-to-day life in Yellow Leaf's village, children's games, the traditions of her people, and how they hunted, fought, and survived. Her story ends with the Lakota success at the Battle of Little Big Horn and the Indians' eventual capitulation to forced resettlement.
