This is an EXACT reproduction of a book published before 1923. This
IS NOT an OCR'd book with strange characters, introduced
typographical errors, and jumbled words. This book may have
occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor
pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original
artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We believe
this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections,
have elected to bring it back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We
appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the
preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
Due to the very old age and scarcity of this book, many of the
pages may be hard to read due to the blurring of the original text.

From the time he was three years old, in 1943, Joseph Iron Eye
Dudley was raised by his grandparents on the Yankton Sioux
Reservation. Their tiny weatherbeaten house, nestled in a bend of
Choteau Creek on the rolling South Dakota prairie, is where he grew
up, and this moving reminiscence recreates with warmth and candor a
childhood poor in material goods but overflowing with spiritual
wealth.
"Much has been written," says the author, "by and about Native
American people who are active in political and social movements,
and much has been said about the appalling conditions of
reservation life. This book is about the common, quiet people who
never make the headlines or find their names in print. They are the
backbone of the reservations, the ones who pass on the values that
make Native American what they are. This story of my grandparents
reminds us that there is a spirit in people which enables them to
rise above the potential devastation of poverty and racism into a
life marked by humor and laughter, one that radiates love and
kindness."
