"'Grandpa, ' I quietly asked, 'how come when you talk about the
past, you say you were a cowboy and an Indian?' I sensed the regret
in his short laugh when he answered, 'Cause I was both and both
ways are gone forever.'"
With great imagination and vigor, award-winning Lakota
storyteller Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve treats readers to a
collection of her best stories. She first spins tales of Lakota and
Dakota generations today, of what the youngest can learn from their
elders, if they choose to listen. The second group of stories, set
in the turbulent and tragic years of the nineteenth century,
teaches the need for understanding across cultures. The collection
ends with spellbinding ancient Sioux tales about the birth of the
universe, the deeds of legendary beings, and an unforgettable story
about Old Woman, whose quill work maps out the end of the
world.
