Muskrat and Skunk/Sinkpe Na Maka: A Lakota Drum Story di Donald F Montileaux
A Lakota story about the heartbeat of Mother Earth and how it connects everything.
A Sioux Indian creation story about Takanka (a holy figure) sacrificing himself for the good of his people. He changes himself into a buffalo and comes to save the Sioux from starvation. There is also a Sioux translation that accompanies the English, so that is really fun for kids.
Reading Level: Primary
Genre: Traditional Literature
Summary: A legend of creation of the Lakota people and how they came to be.
Evaluation: This is an interesting and colorful book that gives the reader a glimpse of the Lakota culture and their legends and ideas of creation. This book is relevant for a Native American unit because it helps the students go more in depth about one specific tribe and learn more about their culture and beliefs. The story is told both in English and in the Lakota language. The illustrations were absolutely beautiful and captured the Native American culture. This is a great book for students to learn in a more interesting way than a textbook about some of the beliefs of the Lakota people that have been passed on for many generations.… (altro)
