Like many of my classmates I enjoyed this book and found it interesting. Like Leanna I had never heard of Red Cloud before reading his autobiography and after reading it I am wondering why I hadn't. I enjoyed the attention to detail on Native American life. One thing I didn't like about the book is how it tended to reenforce many people's stereotypes that native americans are savage, barbaric murderers. What I think people need to realize is that in the time this book was written native american life was based alot around fighting between the tribes to protect the individuals of each tribe. All this shows is the differance in the NAtive American culture and the American culture and how at this time there was such a difference in the ideals of the cultures. Again I did enjoy this book and I found its attention to detail very enlightening, however I don't feel that I got the whole story because I found the book so biased.
