The Sioux
Author : Alice Osinski
SUMMARY : This book tells us the history of a big old Indian family called Sioux. They lived in North America in the area between Minnesota and Montana. They were good horse riders and buffalo hunter. They grow up until they become seven groups. Every group live alone and have there own dialect, but all group can understand each other. They moved through this area following the grass and buffalo by riding horses. All Sioux needed came from buffalo clothes, food, tipis, tools, and building houses. They pray and believed in Great Spirit to give hem power over all thing. Sioux are living these day as American people except they have there own customs.
REACTION :I asked my self for a long time about Indian american where they came from? how they were life? what they were believe on? and where are they now?. In this book I found some answered for my question but I think that I have to read more about Indian American in 1900s . The author told us about how this family of Indian Americana lived and growing up. What they were do with the White settlers and how they were fighting them. Also, how they began to integrate in the new America while they kept some of their old custom.I think they had a difficult life before but it more easy now. The most thing is startled me was how they Acclimatization with this kind of hard life. And how they used to use buffalo in all aspect of there life.
I am so happy to write my opinion on your book, and even though I have naver that book, I think that it will be interestind. Also, my major is family studies, so if I will read that, I might compare family's life. I think that the story was so old, so it may be happy me to read that. Though there are lots of different family life around workd, we do not know all of thme, so through these books, we might understand different kinds of like.^^
