This is probably one of the most important books to read for any real searcher of truth. I feel that it gives a world view that is important to historical research of any kind, of any nation. It's implications for understanding world history are tremendous. It's implications to the worthiness of scientific method are accurate and important. I am not Indian. I am not a descendant. I am forever grateful that I found and read this book. This book should become curriculum for every school in the US, especially home schools. Every US citizen, especially Native Americans, should read this book. If I could afford to I would buy 50 copies and give them to friends, relatives, and teachers.
There are several copies of this book on my shelf

Like the reader above, my views of this book are more than likely biased. Little Pigeon and Grey Owl were my grandparents, and I have read this book many times over. Definately one of the few books that tell the little known bits of history that everyone should hear about.
So simply written that youth and elders will respond

Skip all the heavy-sounding New Age fake Indian nonsense and go straight for this book--a humble, eloquent REAL book written with love by a woman who knows. Highly underrated.
Beautifully written!

I must admit that my views of this work are probably biased. The authors of this book, Grey Owl and Little Pigeon, are my parents. I recall my mother steal away from time to time to jot down notes after my father, the last chief of our band of Native Americans to have been raised in the old tradition, would recount some jewel of ageless wisdom or a bit of our heritage that had never before been documented. After my father passed on in 1959, my mother continued her work in researching and piecing together this work. Until the day she joined my father two years ago, we would sit and talk into the wee hours of the things that she has sought to share of this work.
