Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6-In addition to original drawings, this book also utilizes reproductions of historical photographs and paintings. Captions generally repeat information from the text. No documentation is provided for the quotes; presumably they come from one of the three sources listed in the bibliography. Throughout the text, the author ascribes feelings and thoughts to Sitting Bull that are not documented. References to "Indian lore" and an "Indian way of life" appear with no mention of the disparate beliefs among nations. The title of the last chapter, "The Last of the Sioux," gives the impression that the Sioux no longer exist. Stick with Joseph Bruchac's A Boy Called Slow (Philomel, 1995).

A great look at Sioux life,
By
This review is from: The Sitting Bull You Never Knew (Paperback)
I found this an excellent source for learning about Sioux life and what happened to the native Americans. It's definitely rated at the correct grade level. It did a fairly adequate job of seeing things from both sides... both the native American and the white-man but has more of a native slant. That's ok, though. Children need to see works like this and not just think of native Americans as what they might see in movies or on television. This would be a good biographical source to add to a school's reading program. We learn a lot about different people in our past from many different cultures, but we spend virtually no time on focusing on any native American individuals.
I like Collier's approach to his writing and wish he had more biographies for this age level.
