Review: These Were the Sioux

These Were the SiouxThese Were the Sioux by Mari Sandoz
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A short, easy to read book, the author’s understanding of Sioux culture, looking from the outside in. The author was an early settler in Nebraska. She focuses on the rituals that she saw or heard about, and she explains them as she understood them. Quite interesting.
