This book is a firsthand account by Eastman, of his life from his birth, until his father returned to the community. An easy read, the writing isn’t complicated by jargon. Overall, this book provides useful information concerning the worldview of Plains Indians during the mid to late-nineteenth century, as well as providing some firsthand accounts about the way Indigenous Knowledge is transmitted to children. Learning in the field next to his uncles and aunts, elders and mother, Eastman provides a unique perspective when contrasting this against the residential school model. What I found particularly relevant are the lessons that Eastman learns in his adventures, and how pervasive respect is in the relationships between children and their families.
