"Sitting Bull Remembers," is a powerful story, packed with graphic images that make the reader feel like he is right there in the midst of the war. Overall, I really liked the story for many reasons. "Rivers sparkle like the eyes of a child," Sitting Bull describes. I thought this story was an amazing account of war and life from the perspective of a Sioux Indian who saw his friends and family thrust into a battle that they wanted no parts of. He outlines the efforts of his people, "Though we fought hard, the noise and smoke and greed came to stay in our land." The central message of this story, is that the whites, driven by greed, came and essentially whiped out an entire population. It is a sad and moving story that is sure to capture the reader's attention. All stories don't have happy endings and that was another reason I liked this story. It didn't sugercoat these historical events. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

In this dark room, in this place of fences, strange smells, and men with yellow eyes where finally I am caught and cannot get free, I close my eyes and am home again. . . . Sitting Bull of the Hunkpapa band of the Sioux Nation was a warrior, a visionary, a horseman and hunter, and a man who had a deep affinity with nature. Above all, he is remembered as an extraordinary leader who fought for the freedom of his people and helped to preserve their spirit, even in a time of great tragedy. Chosen to be the war chief of the Sioux Nation in 1869 as battles with the United States government increased, he resisted the white soldiers who threatened to exterminate his people, their claim to the land, and their entire way of life. From the acclaimed author and illustrator of Abe Lincoln Remembers comes an unforgettable fictional portrait of Sitting Bull, looking back on the events that shaped his life and fate. Historically accurate, powerfully evocative paintings and words are as moving as the story they tell. No library descriptions found. |
