In this memoir, Mary Crow Dog (now Mary Brave Bird) recounts her experiences coming of age during the tribal pride movement of the sixties and seventies, starting with her childhood living in poverty on a reservation. The deplorable treatment she encountered at boarding school drove her to join the American Indian Movement, eventually participating in the 1973 occupation of the Wounded Knee Reservation. A remarkable personal tale of a world that is invisible to many in the United States, this is a fantastic nonfiction title that has been rediscovered by many teachers over the last few years.
