Summary of Mary Crow Dog & Richard Erdoes' Lakota Woman

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 It is not the big, dramatic things that get us down, but just being Indian, trying to hang on to our way of life while being surrounded by a more powerful culture.

#2 I am a Sioux from the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. I belong to the Burned Thigh, the Brule Tribe, the Sicangu in our language. The Brules were part of the Seven Sacred Campfires, the seven tribes of the Western Sioux known collectively as Lakota.

#3 The first Wounded Knee, the massacre, happened in 1891. In 1876, Spotted Tail, the all-powerful chief, had his Indian police keep most of the young men on the reservation. Some of the young bucks managed to sneak out trying to get to Montana, but nothing much is known.

#4 I am a small woman, not much over five feet tall, but I can hold my own in a fight. I have white blood in me, and I have always wished to be able to purge it out of me.
