From the back cover: Mary Brave Bird grew up fatherless in a one-room cabin, without running water or elecricity, on a South Dakota reservation. Rebelling against the aimless drinking,punishing missionary school, narrow strictures for women, and violence and hopelessness of reservation life, she joined the new movement of tribal pride sweeping Native American communities in the sixties and seventies and eventually married Leonard Crow Dog, the movement's chief medicine man, who revived the sacred but outlawed Ghost Dance.
