Description
The buffalo was the center of Sioux life. After hunting buffalo on horseback, the Sioux people would use every piece of the animal, making food, beds, clothing, storage boxes, and even sleds from the ribs! Discover how the Sioux people lived on the Great Plains with this accessible introduction. Learn about the Sioux creation story, life in the village as a kid, the importance of their feathered headdresses, and more. This updated edition provides the most up to date and accurate information on the Sioux people of past and present. The back of the book includes a section on Sioux life today, proper names for all of the Sioux tribes, and an excerpt from the Lakota pipe ceremony. Author Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve grew up on the Rosebud Sioux Reservation and for over 40 years has brought the richness of Native American culture and heritage to thousands of children for over 40 years as teacher and children's book author. Her First Americans books introduce young readers to the many diverse and unique Native American nations that first called this land home.
