If you lived with the Sioux Indians, what kind of house would you live in? What kind of clothes would you wear? What kind of games would you play?

Young readers will find out the answers to these questions and many, many more in this engaging, fact-filled book.

In question-and-answer style, the author describes the daily life of the Sioux. Boys and girls will be surprised to know that each child had a second mother and father who helped take care of him . . .that everyone had his own "medicine bundle" to keep danger away . . .that the men sometimes had more than one wife . . . that a boy was expected to hunt his first buffalo calf before he was ten years old.

They'll discover what happened to someone who broke the rules of a tribe, what was considered the bravest thing a Sioux Indian could do, and what happened when the white man came.

In a final section, the author explains what is happening to these Indians today.

Bob Levering's detailed line drawings give an authentic picture of what it was like to live with the Sioux.
