If You Lived With The Sioux Indians

Great book, beautiful quality, the name on the book from it being previously used made for a funny story but my son loved it.

Purchased for use with schooling Unitarian-Universalist (liberal religion/spirituality) classes, I find this is an excellent resource. I recommend it for all ages. It has wonderful illustrations and explanations about life before the European-Americans arrived. It also contains a brief explanation about life in the post-invasion period and how Native Americans live in "modern" society. Using everyday language which almost any age can understand, this book goes into a great deal of information about Native American living on the Great Plains of North America.  Between Earth & Sky: Legends of Native American Sacred PlacesTHIRTEEN MOONS ON TURTLE'S BACK   Rainbow Tribe: Ordinary People Journeying on the Red Road365 Days Of Walking The Red Road: The Native American Path to Leading a Spiritual Life Every Day (Religion and Spirituality)

I like the question-answering format. Appropriate for a broad range of ages. Even as a chapter at a time discussion tool for kindergarten. My only dissatisfaction was the condition my 2 books arrived in. The spines were torn on both.

Overall not a bad product until you get to the last five pages of the book. The author goes on a rant blaming the government for not giving enough money to Native American indian tribes. Native American's recieve the most money per capita in subsidies of any minority group in the United States. The book is also titled If You Lived with the Sioux Indians past tense, not present tense. I assumed I was buying a historical account not a book on present day political issues. I would highly recommend the publisher drop the last few pages that are titled a message from the author. Had those pages not been there this would be a five star review instead of a three star review.

As a teacher I use some of the books in the series to read to my 8th grade History classes. I utilize the books around the units in American History to expand student knowledge of the people or situations we are discussing. I read 4-5 pages everyday and we discuss the information contained in the books. The students gain a much better perspective of what it was like.

Well written with lots of pictures and information for children.

Purchased this book for my 7 yrs. old grandson. They were studing about the indians at school. He is a 7 yrs. old who loves to read and wants to know about things. He restores alot of facts on things, so this book was perfect. It also arrived as stated on website.

I have used this book for many, many years with my college-age ESL students. It is excellent for an intermediate level class.

Love this

Great book
