D. Nelson, that “is a lovely and graceful introduction to a way of life that persists despite cultural obstacles and the march of time” (School Library Journal, starred review)\n\nAward-winning author and artist S. D. Nelson (Standing Rock Sioux) captures the spirit of Buffalo Bird Girl by interweaving the actual words and stories of Buffalo Bird Woman with his artwork and archival photographs. Backmatter includes a history of the Hidatsa and a timeline.\n\nBuffalo Bird Girl (ca. 1839-1932) was a member of the Hidatsa, a Native American community that lived in permanent villages along the Missouri River on the Great Plains. Like other girls her age, Buffalo Bird Girl learned the ways of her people through watching and listening, and then by doing.\n\nShe helped plant crops in the spring, tended the fields through the summer, and in autumn joined in the harvest. She learned to prepare animal skins, dry meat, and perform other duties.\n\nThere was also time for playing games with friends and training her dog. When her family visited the nearby trading post, there were all sorts of fascinating things to see from the white man’s settlements in the East.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1419703552\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1419703552.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Nelson, S.
