American woman Book

Re-reading this book was like a revelation. A teacher once told me you never get bored re-reading a really good book as you always find something new to mull over.
Sarah Kilory comes west to teach the Bad Face Indians and ends up married to Lakota brave, Yellow Legs
becoming a wasichu (white) Indian. Surprised to find Raven, her husband's first wife waiting for him as they ride into his home camp, she has to come to terms with a sister wife, the Lakota way and those among them who think she has brought a curse with her. She also finds she has a talent for medicine visions.
In this book, we see the wild west through Native American eyes. We read the disparity in their way of life so at odds with the white man. We see their sacred Paha Sapa invaded for gold by the whites.
The Northern Pacific Railroad wants to come in but America is broke. General Custer is ordered to put down the Indian trouble.We meet Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, He Dog, General George Armstrong Custer, his white wife, his Indian wife and child and his brothers. This book takes us from the Black Hills down to the south, into Wyoming and and straight back to the Little Bighorn where we leave Custer lying sightless in the buffalo grass.
History woven in with spirit dreams, Native American Medicine, white man's folly and a white woman's journey to becoming a Native American makes this a book never to be forgotten.
