This is the story of Red Cloud told by Brave Eagle. It is an account of how american soilders were trying to move Indians west, and they ended up fighting. Red Cloud lead the fight against Fetterman and although the Sioux indians had victory in this fight, they lost two chiefs. One being Red Cloud. This is a historical account given mainly through indian views.
The illustrations are colorful and detailed in Sioux culture. The pictures dont show blood, but do show soldiers and indians lying down dead. I would not use this for young age children. This book depicts an Indian point of view of history.
A teacher could use this book in understanding different point of views and that there is always two sides to a story. Another activity maybe exploring different historical events to understand many cultures.
