5.0 out of 5 stars What it was to be Indian...., November 5, 2003
By J. Guild (Toronto,Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Becoming Brave (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book portraying what it meant to be an Indian.Reading this book and dwelling on the magnificient photographs of scenery,objects,dress both ceremonial and war,weapons,art and particularly the portraits,both of individuals and groups shows what a great people the Indians were and what a proud culture they created.
In some ways ,it is almost like walking through the Colter Bay Indian Arts Museum in Grand Teton National Park and viewing these beautiful items.
It's such a shame that this way of life disappeared with the coming of the white man.
"I was wounded and pretty weak too.While I was lying on my back,I looked down the ravine and saw a lot of women coming up and crying.When I saw these women,girls and little girls and boys coming up,I saw soldiers on both sides of the ravine shoot at them until they had killed every one of them," said Dewey Beard in his testimonial on the Wounded Knee massacre.

Words and pictures cannot do this tragedy justice.
