Review

"...Native Americans believed that blue-eyed horses with spots were magical, and their father was a legend..." -- Jason Mitchley, Age 9 1/2, Live Oak, Florida

From the Inside Flap

Born and raised on Long Island, New York, Linda Little Wolf currently resides in Ocala, Florida. She has been an enthusiastic collector of Native American art and artifacts for the past two decades. Ms. Little Wolf enjoys sharing her proud heritage of Cherokee and Lakota Sioux with audiences of all ages. She has rapidly become one of the foremost educators and lecturers on Plains Indian history, culture, folklore, art, and horsemanship. Her ancestors shared their lives with the horse, and Linda Little Wolf's life is no different. She is often accompanied by her loyal companion and educational partner, a handsome paint horse appropriately named Enough Stuff. He has become an essential part of her lectures, allowing her to demonstrate traditional horsemanship skills while describing the physical and spiritual role that the horse played in the lives of North America's nomadic tribes. Their growing recognition has introduced them to the world of television; they recently appeared in a Ford commercial. Wearing elaborate Plains Indian regalia, this dynamic duo has appeared in schools, colleges, museums, and horse fairs throughout the United States. Ms. Little Wolf has also appeared at equine events in many foreign countries. Since 1992, Linda Little Wolf has been an active participant in the Florida Horse and Agricultural Festival. In her role as committee member, she has lectured, choreographed, and performed in evening shows and coordinated the Parades of Breeds, the equine performances, and the Youth Pavilion. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Delightful Journey into Native American Folklore, November 25, 2003
This review is from: Great Spirit Horse (Hardcover)
Native American tradition says that when a white buffalo calf is born and the Great Spirit Horse of the plains return, they will experience a rebirth of their culture and traditions. The first of these events occurred several years ago, and folklorist and storyteller Linda Little Wolf believes the second has as well in the form of her companion, a blue-eyed Tobiano paint named Enough Stuff.

To celebrate this, she has written a charming version of the story of Sunka Wakan, the Great Spirit Horse, for young readers. Her protagonist is an ugly-duckling foal who flees the scorn of his herd-fellows and takes refuge in the Black Hills, where he learns he has a proud and important destiny.

Although Ms. Little Wolf occasionally overdoes the anthropomorphism of her equine cast, she has down a superb job of making this traditional story both educational and entertaining. The book is a fine introduction to Native American folklore and traditions for both the youngsters it is intended for and their parents. For certain, this gently amusing book will appeal to horselovers of all ages.

She has subtitled her book "Otoka," which is a Lakota word for "beginning." One hopes this means there will be more tales like this one-and the quality of this first book makes that something to be eagerly anticipated.
