Buffalo Hearts Opens Eyes

I recently picked up a copy of Buffalo Hearts by Sun Bear when trying to visit one of my fiancé's friends. I briefly scanned the book and decided to take it along for future reading. Well, I forgot about the book for a while, like I am sure other avid reader do from time to time. Too many books and not enough time for reading all of them. Okay, back to the book. I started reading this book and was very skeptical at first. Wow, another book on " The American Indians." Well, I was completely wrong, this book was outstanding, I almost read it from cover to cover in one night, but I forced myself to slow it down and try and appreciate and understand the content of what author's work was tring to portray. The book was an easy read reagrding language and it flows very smoothly while containing a lot of details with regarding each of the specific Indians that was chosen for this book. I made sure to read each section related to the specific Indians at different times. Since I take the train to and from work, I read about one Indian in the morning and another during the evening commute. Wow! I even had fellow train riders ask me about what book I was reading and why I chose that specific one? In short, I found the book to be very informational and I found myself feeling bad for the Native American Indian's, peaceful people who only wanted to live free and roam their Mother Earth in peace on their own land that they inhabited so long before the outsiders settled in. The author also paints I would imagine a realistic picture about the French and the British settlers and how they came to America and took over not realizing at what expense the Native American's would suffer. Anyhow, I would recommend this book to others. Happy Reading!!!
